Tim Burton is set to spread his wings, or maybe his ears, with his next directorial project. The filmmaker is attached to helm a live-action remake of Disney's "Dumbo," the animated classic about a floppy-eared pachyderm, The Times has confirmed.
quote:
Burton, who previously directed Disney's billion-dollar hit "Alice in Wonderland," will work from a script by Ehren Kruger, a writer on the last three "Transformers" movies. The "Dumbo" remake is in the early stages of development and doesn't yet have a release date, but it's expected to use a combination of live actors and CGI.
quote:
As for Disney, the "Dumbo" remake represents the latest instance of the studio mining its back catalog of animated films for live-action material, following "Alice," "Maleficent" (a retelling of "Sleeping Beauty"), "Cinderella" and the upcoming "Jungle Book" and "Beauty and the Beast."

I'd go with the mouse as his role. Dumbo's mother will be played by Helena Bonham Carter.

Maybe he'll be one of the racist crows.

Please God let there be twisted Carnival music for once.

Sounds promising to me.

Soooo Tim Burton will be making a dark twisted Dumbo movie with Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, and that guy that played Snape from Harry Potter.
Oh and Johnny Depp will have a bad British accent in it.
I think that about covers all the usual for what you can expect from EVERY Tim Burton movie...

A stereotype is not "racist". That word is so misused on a daily basis it's incredible.

Burton has made shitload of money
I'm more worried about the writer coming from the Transformers movies. How do some of these people keep getting jobs.
FWIW, I thought Malicifent was okay.

Yeah that's fine. I wouldn't debate that. But he has no creativity and no fire left. Certainly not from the Black Cauldron to Scissorhands run.

Also, the crows weren't racist. Outside of the mouse, the crows are the most empathetic and caring characters in the entirety of the film. The crows are some of the few creatures to actually help Dumbo.
Oh, I'm begging you Disney... don't do this. Not to Dumbo.
