Colin Farrell May Join Tim Burton’s Dumbo

Rumor has it that Colin Farrell is in talks to star in Disney’s live-action remake of Dumbo. The film is being directed by Tim Burton with a script by Ehren Kruger. Farrell would play Holt, a widowed father of two kids from Kentucky.

Dumbo is expected to be a combination of live-action and CGI much like 2016’s The Jungle Book. It’s among many productions Disney has on schedule to produce from their animated material. Eva Green and Danny DeVito are also attached to star in the film.
