Live Action Dumbo to Add Colin Farrell?

According to Dateline this strange, Tim Burton live action remake of Dumbo that Disney's putting together is now in talks with Colin Farrell. He's in talks join Danny Devito & Eva Green play a widowed father of two kids from Kentucky and this news just puts me more on the side of what is going on with Dumbo? I've heard so much about parts of this Dumbo now that I'm starting to wonder if we're even going to get a flying elephant. We've got circus Masters, evil circus Masters, & now we got this guy with two kids from Kentucky, and nobody's even talking about a mouse, singing crows, or a flying elephant. I mean, what do y'all think? Leave a message in the comments and let me know.
