Disney Developing a Live-Action ‘Dumbo’ Movie with ‘Transformers’ Writers

Date:

Disney has begun developing a live-action “Dumbo” movie with “Transformers” writer Ehren Krugrer.

Justin Springer and Ehren Kruger will also produce the movie, which will center around an elephant who is constantly teased for his big ears. When his mother is locked up for defending him, he travels and starts an adventure with a mouse who encourages him to fly with the help of a magical feather.

Kruger is expected to make the movie a live-action series with a strong family component, which has been extremely popular with movies such as “Alice in Wonderland” and “Maleficent“.

Disney also plans on redoing “Cinderella,” “The Jungle Book” and “Beauty and the Beast“. Last month Disney casting directors held a nationwide casting call for lead speaking roles for the upcoming “Jungle Book” movie. Also, Emma Watson from the Harry Potter series announced that she will be working on the new “Beauty and the Beast” series.

Given how quickly technology has developed, it seems pretty reasonable as to why they will develop a new Disney live action series.
