franfar Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/07/15/dumbo-live-action-remake-cast-release-date-revealed Quote Tim Burton is confirmed to direct the film, which will hit theaters on March 29, 2019. Disney also confirmed some major casting, including Colin Farrell, Danny Devito, Eva Green, Michael Keaton, Nico Parker, and Finley Hobbins. Disney's official description is as follows: "Holt Farrier (Farrell) is a former circus star who finds his life turned upside down when he returns from the war. Circus owner Max Medici (DeVito) enlists Holt to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock in an already struggling circus. But when Holt’s children (Parker and Hobbins) discover that Dumbo can fly, persuasive entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere (Keaton) and an aerial artist named Colette Marchant (Green) swoop in to make the peculiar pachyderm a star." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddddeeee Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 The look of Dumbo himself seems to have gone down very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) They seem to be doing what they did with Pete's Dragon and creating a new story rather than a straight remake, Edited July 16, 2017 by Jonwo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see Dumbo's a good movie, and with Burton at the helm at least the film looks should nice. Plus more sleazy Michael Keaton is always a good thing.

aabattery Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I'm pretty excited for this. Been a while since I've really liked one of Burton's movies but this cast is great. Plus baby elephants are the cutest things in the world. 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That One Girl Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Considering the original one is too short for this to be basically shot for shot, and also cause Burton is helming it...I'm cautiously optimistic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddddeeee Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I'm torn between thinking that the core story of this is too strong to mess up and thinking that Ethren Kruger is probably capable of doing just that. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 A strong core story can be easily messed up by the added padding to make it more "adult" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marveldcfox Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Peregrine was really good. So looking forward to this a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
