After starring in many critically acclaimed movies, Will Smith now is all set go for director Tim Burton's 'Dumbo' which is expected to be an action oriented movie. The project is right now in discussion between Disney and Will Smith. Tim Burton is already roped in by Disney to direct the movie which is scripted by Ehren Kruger.

Burton, who has given many successful movies like Cinderella and The Jungle Book, is being finally given the project to direct 'Dumbo' which was previously slated for many years earlier.  Will Smith is on the mind of Disney for some time now to be the star of the movie but if anything can bar him from accepting the role can be the date issues, a report published in Collider claims.

Will Smith is presently preparing up for Bad Boys for Life, a sequel to the Bad Boys series. He is all set to share the screen with Martin Lawrence once again under the director Joe Carnahan. Bad Boys for Life is right now going through a script re-finish so that to remove anything likely to go against the audience's taste.

If Will Smith accepts the Disney project, 'Dumbo,' it's certain then he is going to start work on both the movies at the same time. And it makes it more anticipating to see how Will Smith will work on two projects side by side.

According to another report published in Film, Disney is in full swing to put the movie on the floor as soon as possible but are awaiting Smith's confirmation. Disney is really popular for recreating animated movies without doing any disloyalty to the original version. They did it to the Alice in Wonderland and received the successful response at box office. They all set to recreate Dumbo, action oriented and live movie, with same creative treatment Disney is popular for.
