Disney's Dumbo: Live-Action Movie

[ARNie]

Disney is developing a live-action take on its 1941 animated classic Dumbo and has Transformers franchise writer Ehren Kruger penning the script.

Justin Springer, who worked on Tron: Legacy as well as Oblivion, is producing, as will Kruger...

...The new take involves the adaptation of the original movie while adding a unique family story that parallels Dumbo's story. Also, the studio believes that because of the current state of CG technology, live-action movies featuring a soaring pachyderm (or any animal for that matter) are viable.

So as long as they don't get Michael Bay to direct, it'll end up being three hours of explosions that is supposed to be a Dumbo film...the rest of the article:

Sticking to the animated classic cause not everything needs a live action take.

Ha, ha, really? The Transformers movies involved a writer? I thought it was just improv from Shia Labeouf plus explosions.

Seriously though; live-action Dumbo? Um, Disney, you do realize live-action movies aren't what put you on the map, right? xD

Another example of Disney recycling its classics rather than create something new.

I wonder if they'll include the crows?
