Live Action 'Dumbo'

[doink]

So, which Disney animated film is going to be turned into live action next?

...I wish. It would work a lot better than Dumbo.

They could base a live-action Hunchback off the stage musical they did that changes some things to be closer to the book, like having [BLACKOUT]Esmeralda die at the end[/BLACKOUT].

I'll tell you one thing, depending on what 'mode' Burton's in, it's either gonna be awful or so-so. 'Big Eyes' is a rarity from him these days.

 

[Guts]

David Lynch should direct the next live action adaption of a Disney cartoon.

 

[Loki882]

Or David Fincher.

 

[Guts]

A surreal live action Disney movie would be awesome though.

 

[CaptainWagner]

I have no idea how they plan on making this work. Like Doink said, a live action Hunchback movie would be much better.

 

[The Shape]

Why, Tim Burton? Why?

 

[Loki882]

Because Alice made over a billion dollars. No seriously, that's the reason.

 

[terry78]

This is gonna be ****ed up. Hopefully in the good way. You know we're getting the Pink Elephants sequence now.

 

[zeptron]

So who's Johnny Depp gonna play in this? Timothy Q. Mouse? Jim Crow? The Ring Master?

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Man, I thought Big Eyes would have propelled Burton to take on more intriguing and dynamic projects.

Between this and Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children, I can't say I'm too excited.

I came here to post something strikingly similar. Although, I've yet to read Miss Peregrine's Home yet.

You know, I could actually see Johnny Depp as the voice of the mouse, if he was in his "Ed Wood" mode.

But...but...Beetlejuice 2...

 

[DarkSovereignty]

Michael Keaton is now known as "the guy who should have won that OSCAR." He doesn't need a beetle juice II anymore.

 

[Fallen Angel]

But...but...Beetlejuice 2...

He said during the Big Eyes press junket that there is a script and they're working on it. Keaton is in.

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

Tim burton plus pink elephants yeah that's gonna be nightmare fuel, completly superb but nightmare fuel

Im telling ya - he's conformed.

I can imagine this being done in a similar fashion to Big Fish, all the fantastical elements should be played straight but with an element of wtf

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

Hahaha! Why not?

 

[Schlosser85]

This will just be a Tim Burton movie with elephants that bears little resemblance to the Dumbo story. Because every time Burton adapts a preexisting property (Alice in Wonderland, Sleepy Hollow, Dark Shadows), he turns it unto a generic Tim Burton movie rather than adapting himself to the material. I'm not interested in seeing him crap all over Dumbo.

 

[Alien Anal]

Dumbo will wear battle armour and fight in an army

 

[terry78]

The crows will be voiced by Kevin Hart, Key and Peele, and Kerry Washington.

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

I'm not interested in seeing him crap all over Dumbo.

I doubt the movie is that sick.
