Simply further proof that Disney, like most of Hollyweird, has no real
creative talent or new ideas left.

Disney's Hunchback being adapted into live-action musical
---------------------------------------------------------
Tony winner David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly) will be penning the
live-action musical Hunchback for Disney, Deadline has confirmed.
The project is an adaptation of the original novel by Victor
Hugo.
Eight-time Oscar winner Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast,
Aladdin, The Hunchback of Notre Dame) and Oscar winner Stephen
Schwartz (Wicked, Godspell, Pippin) will write the music for the
film, with Josh Gad (Beauty and the Beast) producing alongside
Mandeville. There's a rumor that Gad might play the lead
character in Hunchback, but nothing has been confirmed for
casting.
Hunchback will pull details from the 1996 animated Disney film
The Hunchback of Notre Dame as well as Hugo's book, but not the
stage collaboration from Schwartz and Menken that debuted in
Europe. Mandeville's David Hoberman - the former Disney film
president - has been wanting to develop a live-action version of
the story for the past 30 years.
Hunchback joins a list of other Disney animated features that are
being adapted into live-action projects, including Aladdin,
Pinocchio, Dumbo, Mulan, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Snow
White, and Lady and the Tramp.
