The classic is getting revamped, in real life!
From People:
The bells of Notre Dame are ringing louder than ever.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame is getting a live-action remake, PEOPLE confirms.
The film will be produced by Mandeville Films and Frozen‘s Josh Gad. Alan Menken, who created the original score of the animated film, and Stephen Schwartz will compose the music while Tony-winning M. Butterfly playwright David Henry Hwang is attached to write.
While no casting decisions have been made, the remake will pull from the animated film as well as the Victor Hugo novel that was first published in 1831.
The animated version of the film was released by Disney in June 1996 and starred Tom Hulce as the voice of Quasimodo, Demi Moore as Esmeralda, Tony Jay as Claude Frollo, Kevin Kline as Phoebus and Jason Alexander as the gargoyle Hugo.
