>Now that Bob Iger is back in the driver's seat, it is highly unlikely that the project will move forward as Iger is not the biggest fan of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and a remake isn't in their list of priorities. Things can obviously change, but this is the most recent information there is on the project.

Good
Another one bites the dust! Here's to many more shitty movies getting cancelled!
>Cancelled live-action Hunchback.
>Replaced it with live-action Tangled AND The Princess and the Frog.
Not very bright, are we?
>Tangled AND The Princess and the Frog
Who cares?
See, the difference is that Rapunzel and PatF have messages and morals that more relate to the individual, whereas Disney's Hunchback talked more about society as a whole (don't discriminate based on appearances, racism is bad, people who claim to be the most righteous are often anything but, abuse of power is bad, etc). They can (and probably will) put in more political messages in Tangled and PatF (they will NOT talk about racism in the 1920s though, you can guarantee that) but they'll be palatable and kind of vague "girls can do anything!". They straight up cannot remake Hunchback with the strategy they use to make the other ones. It already has several strong messages in it that can't be hidden behind metaphors. They can't give their version of Frollo the Cruella treatment and get marketing deals where they use him. They can't not cast someone who isn't disabled in some way to play Quasimodo. Of course Disney is running away from the idea of a remake of this movie, because it actually looks the audience in the face and sends a strong, clear message.
how could you turn the characters in The Princess and the Frog black if they're already black?
They're going to turn the guys Tiana's trying to buy the restaurant building from black too.
they'll make them aboriginal
they'll make them white instead
Find actors that are even darker.
It worked for Rhodey.
>The Princess and the Frog.
Just found out about this
>Lupita as Tiana
Wtf? Isn't Tiana 19? And they're eyeing a 40 year old actress?
I feel like Lupita's name comes up every time a female black character is being cast. So far the remakes are going for younger actresses so I doubt this is real.
Disney suits took the Black Don't Crack meme too seriously
She's hot at least
Lupita is a good actress but she's 40 and Tiana is 19 and her being a young dreamer is kind of important to the story.
Princess and the Frog had a great concept and setting but ended up mediocre. If you don’t have Keith David as Facilier then you don’t have a movie.
They’re going to remove the class issue with race.
>If you don’t have Keith David as Facilier then you don’t have a movie.
>shill live action
>make everyone black
>next project is Quasimodo
>project cancelled
Hmmm
Thank god
You know what
I'd comment on Iger's bad taste but if it keeps this movie from being made then it may be a boon for once.
Kek that was exactly my reaction. Gate successfully kept.
good
People playing gypsies, some guy wearing a prosthetic and "acting" handicapped. It would have been a disaster.
>Writer's strike happens
>Management scraps projects that are in the early stages
>Starts new projects that have a writers room full of scabs
ain't complicated.
would the hunchback have been black or some other race if it didn't get cancelled?
Isn't he suposed to be a gypsy?
He wants to frick a gypsy.
In the original, Quasimodo is a gypsy baby they swapped out with a french baby. The french baby grows up to be Esmeralda.
It's for the best
Thank god
I actually wouldn't mind a live-action adaptation if it was an adaptation of the stage musical
ugly gay sob
Live action remakes of CG Slop films would actually be an improvement, unlike the remakes of their classic hand drawn masterpieces. Of course, they'd still mostly be CG Slop.
A remake isn't happening until they fully restore the cathedral or at least enough years pass for people to forget
I already forgot about that
>Reportedly
I didn't even know there was a Hunchback remake in the works.
While we're on the subject of Josh Gad, whatever happened to the Gaston & LeFou spinoff? Was it cancelled or written off already?
>we will be spared a rap remix of Hellfire
Thank God.
Just make a Frollo origin movie with him losing his parents as a child and being mentored by Torquemada.
I don’t even remember that one getting announced
