Alan Menken avrebbe riferito che potrebbe esserci in ballo un remake musical live-action di Il Gobbo di Notre Dame.
Da GWNews: Alan Menken hints Hunchback of Notre Dame remake Alan Menken has hinted 'The Hunchback Of Notre Dame' could be made into a live-action remake. The iconic composer - who is known for his musical scores for hit Disney animated movies including 'Aladdin' and 'Beauty and the Beast' - has kept tight-lipped about which classic tale the studio is set to reboot, but he wants to see the French story remade. Speaking to NME, Menken, who also composed the original animation, said: "I can't say anything yet but I think 'Hunchback' would make an amazing live-action musical." Based on the novel by Victor Hugo, the story follows deformed Quasimodo, who lives in the bell tower of the Parisian cathedral, and wishes to go down to live with the rest of society. However, his guardian, the evil Judge Claude Frollo wants to keep him locked away and rid the world of hellish beings. When Quasimodo meets the beautiful Esmeralda, he is persuaded to help her and the rest of the gypsies from their fate at the hands of Frollo. This project would join Disney's ever growing franchise of live-action reboots which has seen 'Maleficent', 'Cinderella', 'The Jungle Book' and most recently, the box office smash 'Beauty and the Beast'. Among the other remakes being lined up are 'The Lion King', 'Mulan', 'Dumbo' and 'The Little Mermaid'. Director Tim Burton recently revealed Colin Farrell, Danny DeVito, Eva Green and Michael Keaton will all appear in his reimagining of the flying elephant 'Dumbo'. The movie - which will also include animated elements - will all be filmed in England and is currently scheduled for release in the US on March 29, 2019. 'Dumbo' is one of the classic Disney films, which tells the story of a ostracized baby elephant who strives to prove his worth after he is mocked for having big ears. For the live-action adaptation, Ehren Kruger has written the script and is also producing alongside 'Tron: Legacy's' Justin Springer. |

Sarà un musical, Josh Gad possibile Quasimodo, ritorno di Menken e Schwartz alla colonna sonora, prenderà le mosse dal film e non dal musical a teatro.
Disney Rings ‘Hunchback’ Bell: David Henry Hwang To Script Live Action Musical, Alan Menken/Stephen Schwartz Writing Music by Mike Fleming Jr EXCLUSIVE: Tony-winning M. Butterfly playwright David Henry Hwang has been set by Disney to write Hunchback, a live action musical adaptation of the Victor Hugo novel. Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz will write the music. Mandeville is producing along with Josh Gad. I had heard that Gad, a star of the Mandeville-produced blockbuster Beauty and the Beast, might play the lead character, but insiders at the studio said no casting is solid at this point. Hwang’s other work includes the plays Chinglish, Yellow Face, Kung Fu, Golden Child, and The Dance and the Railroad, and Broadway musicals including the Elton John & Tim Rice collaboration Aida, the revival of Flower Drum Song and Disney’s animated Tarzan. M. Butterfly was revived on Broadway in 2017 in a Julie Taymor-directed production starring Clive Owen. His collaboration with composer Jeanine Tesori, Soft Power, opened last May in Los Angeles. He is America’s most produced living opera librettist as well. Three-time Oscar winner Schwartz’ credits include Wicked, Godspell and Pippin. Eight-time Oscar winner Menken’s credits include Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and the original score for the 1996 Disney animated film The Hunchback of Notre Dame. The new film will pull from the ’96 animated film and the Hugo novel but not the stage production that Schwartz and Menken collaborated on for the stage in Europe. David Hoberman, who runs Mandeville with Todd Lieberman, has been fixated on a live action Hunchback for over 30 years going back to when he was Disney film president. An early attempt led to the animated film and another resulted in a limited TV series on ABC. Now it has come back around as a feature film, and while it is early and not on the Disney release calendar, Hunchback has some of the most storied players from the stage and musical realms. Gad teamed with Menken & Schwartz on a huge Universal deal several years ago for an original musical with Jeremy Garelick. Messaggio modificato da Daydreamer il 16/1/2019, 18:35 |
