Dumbo – which marks Green’s third film with Burton following Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children and Dark Shadows – will take inspiration from The Jungle Book, which merged the use of live-action and CGI.
While Tim Burton’s remake of classic animation Dumbo may be a dubious undertaking, Hollywood’s finest are lining up to star.
Already Eva Green and Danny DeVito have confirmed their involvement, with The Lobster’s Colin Farrell now being eyed for a leading role.
Other live-action remakes Disney currently have lined up include The Lion King, Aladdin, The Sword in the Stone, and Mulan.
