Tim Burton's Making a Live-Action 'Dumbo'—Is Johnny Depp the Elephant?

FUSE TV - Tim Burton's Making a Live-Action 'Dumbo'—Is Johnny Depp the Elephant?

Tim Burton has signed on to direct a live-action remake of Dumbothe Wall Street Journal reports. The script was penned by Ehren Kruger, best known for his work on the Transformers franchise. The new version of the Disney classic will feature a mix of CGI and live action, but there’s no word yet if frequent Burton collaborator Johnny Depp will play the titular elephant or not. Seriously, if anyone would try something that crazy, it would be Burton and Depp.

While most other directors wouldn’t dare touch a project with such a hallowed history, Burton’s filmography has shown us that he’s never cowered at the idea of taking on the classics.
