Dumbo
Disney is making newspaper headline this calendar month in the streak - up to their live - action at law adaptation of the Graeco-Roman princess movieBeauty and the Beast . However , this is far from the only live - action mechanism iron that the studio currently has in the fervour , with multiple version in the works for the futurity - one of which seems to be deep in the process of casting at the bit . Dumbo , the 1941 tale of an outcast carnival elephant who read how to wing , may not have a release date herald just yet , but there have been several tidbits of casting news this month so far . Reportedly , Tom Hanks was offered a villain rolefor the film , whileWill Smith fade onwhichever part he was offered .
Now , another heavy name is reportedly in talk to asterisk in the film , and it ’s someone who has bring with music director Tim Burton more than once already .
Eva Green is up for one of the three major adult roles in the movie , according toDeadline , which cover that the actress is presently " in talk " with the studio apartment . The news is not officially confirmed by either Green or Disney , with the chronicle coming from unnamed sources , presumably connected to the production in some way . This would not be Green ’s first time sour withdirector Tim Burton , should she accept Disney ’s offer - Green recently star in Burton’sMiss Peregrine ’s Home For Peculiar Children , and has also worked with the gothic director onDark Shadowsin 2012 .
What this report does n’t tell us is which role Green would be up for , or whether she is being eyed for a live - action part or to voice one of the CGI eccentric . There are very few distaff case in the original animated film - only Mrs. Jumbo , Dumbo ’s mother , and The Elephant Matriarch , head of the herd . Green could easily be voice one of these part , but there are other possibilities . Green could potentially be a gender - swapped ringmaster , gender - swapped Timothy the Mouse , or an entirely new character create specifically for the film . She could also portray one of the clowns that appears in the motion-picture show , in a ( presumably ) larger part than they play in the invigoration .
We would bang to see Green take on a larger role in the upcoming live - actionDumbo- not only is she a phenomenal actress , but she seems to be something of a newfangled muse for Burton . If she is not one of the female elephants , this could also intend that the flick will be a little more sex - balanced than the master , which would n’t be difficult . Green would look utterly stunning as the evil ringmaster of the circus , although putting her in that role would leave us wondering which other villain Tom Hanks might be playing .
However , many lover are implicated that Burton ’s very dark approach might not be the best selection for a film likeDumbo , and cast someone who has operate on some of his more gothic cinema in the yesteryear seems to sustain that we will be seeing him put his unequaled mold on this story . We ’ll still be interested to see how it works , whichever way it go , and to see how this story will be update for a live - action adaptation .
