LOS ANGELES, Apr 5: Looks like a “Batman” reunion is on its way with Michael Keaton in early negotiations to star in Tim Burton’s “Dumbo”.
Colin Farrell and Eva Green also are in talks to join the movie, which is based on Disney’s classic 1941 animated film about a baby circus elephant who is made fun of for his large ears and is separated from his mother, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Ehren Kruger has penned the script for the new project.
If the deal is made, Keaton would play a villain, who buys a circus with hopes of exploiting the elephants.
Plot details are being kept under wraps, but sources say that one thing the new version does is expand and deepen the circus aspect of the story.
This will be the first time the actor will reunite with Burton since 1992’s “Batman Returns”. (PTI)
