Colin Farrell Joining Viola Davis In Steve McQueen’s Widows

By Leave a Comment

Colin Farrell is certainly filling up his dance card, as he recently signed on to star in Disney’s live-action Dumbo movie, and now he’s also set to join Viola Davis in Steve McQueen’s Widows, according to Variety. The film will be the director’s first film since his Oscar-winning 12 Years A Slave.

The film is based on Lyda La Plante’s acclaimed 1983 British miniseries ‘about a caper gone wrong, the story follows four armed robbers who are killed in a failed heist attempt, leaving their widows to finish the job.’ Farrell will play a politician who gets mixed up in the criminality.

As well as Viola Davis and Colin Farrell, Liam Neeson, Elizabeth Debicki, Cynthia Erivo, Michelle Rodriguez, Daniel Kaluuya, and Andre Holland are set to star. Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn is set to pen the screenplay. The movie is due to start shooting fairly soon, with Farrell slotting it in before Tim Burton’s Dumbo.

Colin Farrell May Star In Tim Burton’s Take On Disney’s Dumbo

By Leave a Comment

It seems Disney and Tim Burton have diverse thoughts about who would be good to fill the shoes of the main male role in their planned live action version of Dumbo. Will Smith, Chris Pine, and Casey Affleck have all looked at and passed on the part, and now it’s the turn of Colin Farrell, who’s in talks for the role, according to Variety.

The plot of the film will revolve both around the baby elephant with enormous ears, as well as some children that befriend him. Assuming he signs on, Farrell would play the father of those children (earlier reports suggest the role is the ringmaster of the circus Dumbo is part of, although other rumours say that may no longer be true).

Eva Green and Danny DeVito are already attached to the movie. It appears the film will shoot this year, although Disney is yet to set a release date.
