Oh no the absence of the Disney charm is what made the German production so epic! Hunchback is a dark novel and the musical should remain dark. As long as they keep it similar to the Berlin one and keep the ending the same then I'll be happy.

But still so glad their bringing it back!!!

A little scared of the idea of a remake film, but still willing to see it. And OMG! ON BROADWAY!!!! EPIC!! MUST GO TO NEW YORK TO SEE THIS!!!

[NaomiFan]

Great news hope they show it in Germany as well again but same way as in Berlin I just loved this production

[develtedeltukeilachi]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!

Lucky you for living in USA, I only will had th chance to see the movie in a few years D: .

Anyway, I can't believe it! I wish the musical/movie or any other news appear soon!

[alpehoj]

I swear I recall hearing somewhere (online I'm pretty sure) that some producer or other had offered the role of Quasimodo to Johnny Depp.

It would seem a good choice. To quote my friend Unglef, "If you asked Depp to play a piece of poo, he'd start steaming."

Anyhoo, it would be good to see a new film come along. So far my favourite version is still the Charles Laughton one...but I admit i liked the Disney. It's cute 'n sweet and all that.

[Glynreaper08]

YES YES YES best idea ever

[geepunky]

OMG! I've been reading something on Frollo Forum, but I didn't believe it

Alan Manken, you're the best

I'm wondering if he'll make new songs to our beloved judge, I'll be happy to hear new Frolloness songs

Thanks, Emily!
