VIDEO : Colin Farrell In Talks to Join 'Dumbo' Live Action

Actor Colin Farrell is in talks to join the live action cast of Disney's "Dumbo" remake. Production on the Tim Burton directed fim is set to begin this spring, and Farrell is reportedly in talks to play the lead character which was previously offered to actor Will Smith. Actors Eva Green and Danny DeVito have already signed on to the project. The movie is said to still be looking to cast a villainous circus owner named Vandemere. "Dumbo" will join the ranks of other animated films turned live action, such as "Beauty and the Beast," "Junglebook," and "Alice in Wonderland."
