Mashable confirmed on Tuesday that Tim Burton is attached to direct an upcoming live-action version of Disney's Dumbo -- the animated film about an elephant with large ears who can fly.
While Burton is no stranger to Disney adaptations -- he directed Alice and Wonderland, although was probably overshadowed by Johnny Depp's costume -- it's still certainly an interesting choice for such a lighthearted film.
