Last time we saw a movie take on The Hunchback of Notre Dame it was Disney's fairly traditional animated version in 1996. Now Disney has moved on to live-action adventures like Pirates of the Caribbean and its many knockoffs, and Paramount thinks it's time to combine old and new Disney with their own take on the hunchback.

According to THR, Paramount has picked up a pitch from newbie screenwriters Willie Block and Jake Emanuel that's a "high-concept action-adventure" take on the Hunchback of Notre Dame, with some original ideas mixed in with the classic story framework. Lorenzo di Bonaventura, he of Transformers and G.I. Joe and tons of other blockbusters, is producing along with Mark Vahradian. There's no telling just how different this movie will be from the Victor Hugo novel, but if the standard is how faithful Pirates of the Caribbean movie was to the original theme park ride, expect nothing more than a movie set in Paris, with the titular church maybe in a few background shots.
