Eva Green may join Tim Burton's 'Dumbo'

Actress Eva Green is in talks to star in Tim Burton's "Dumbo", the live-action adaptation of the 1941 animated classic for Disney.

If Green, 36, signs onto the project, the move will mark her reunion with Burton, with whom she collaborated on "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" and "Dark Shadows", reported Deadline.

The actress might play a trapeze artist, who works for the head of the circus, in the movie.

Ehren Kruger is writing the script and producing with Justin Springer.
