The 1941 Walt Disney's animation movie 'Dumbo' is going to have the live-action remake directed by Tim Burton. The Disney lovers could get more excited with the news of Will Smith and Tom Hanks to be a part of the Disney's live-action movie 'Dumbo'. It is rumored that Will Smith will handle an important role in Disney's 'Dumbo', while Tom Hanks will be the Villain in the movie by Tim Burton.

Disney's movie 'Dumbo' is a story of an elephant with big ears, who is bullied by everyone for the same reason except Timothy, the mouse. Later Dumbo realizes his ability to fly with his big ears, which was once considered as a negative thing. 'Dumbo' was the shortest and simplest animated feature movie of 64 minutes by Walt Disney.

As per the information from Variety, in the live-action adaptation of the 1941 movie 'Dumbo', certain changes in the storyline will be made by the creators. And Will Smith will be portrayed as a parent to the kids with whom, Dumbo develops a friendship in the movie.

 About the villain character of Tom Hanks, nothing is yet confirmed. Tom Hanks has been offered the villain character of Disney's live-action adaptation 'Dumbo', but the probability of the being the part of the live-action movie of Disney is very low. Tom Hanks will opt for 'The Grey Hound', a World War II drama instead of Disney's live-action movie 'Dumbo'.

Disney's live-action movie 'Dumbo' will be a good choice for Will Smith as his last release 'Collateral Beauty' didn't perform well, as per Deadline. Also, by being a part in the Disney's 'Dumbo', Will Smith enters to the list of big stars other than Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp, Emma Stone, Dwayne Johnson and Cruella De Ville, who has been a part of Disney's film.

Disney's 'Dumbo' will be a mix of live-action and CGI. Tim Burton will be the director of the Disney's live-action movie 'Dumbo'. The script writer of Transormers: Revenge of the Fallen and Scream 3, Ehren Kruger will be handling the script of Disney's movie 'Dumbo'. The release date or any other information about the film is not yet confirmed officially.
