Danny DeVito Heads For The Live-Action Dumbo Eva Green Ready To Reunite With Tim Burton For Dumbo Colin Farrell Heads For The New Dumbo Film
Burton has been busy casting this latest Disney conversion job from its cartoon catalogue. Eva Green and Danny DeVito are in place and Colin Farrell is in talks to co-star. DeVito is playing the kindly owner of a small circus outfit home to Dumbo and his mother, while Green will be a French trapeze artist.
If he does make a deal, Keaton will be Vandemere, the owner of a much bigger, less friendly big top who sees Dumbo as something he can exploit. Boo! Hiss! Etc. Ehren Kruger wrote the script for the new movie, and Burton should be rolling the cameras this year.
It would mark another villainous role for Keaton, following this year's Spider-Man: Homecoming, in which he plays Adrian Toomes, AKA The Vulture. The new film will be out on 7 July.
