Andy Serkis as Quasimodo or bust.

Oh, there is SO much that could go wrong with this. From potentially offensive portrayal of people with physical disabilities like Quasi (and casting an able-bodied actor), to the gypsies, to Frollo and the church, there are probably gonna be SO MANY people who get offended by this, justified or otherwise.

Okay, yeah, I'm positive this is going to be a disaster. At best it'll just be the animated movie with the more intrusive comedic elements taken out, but I get the sense they're going to awkwardly try and shoehorn in a lot more ties to the book and answers to questions that don't need answers without actually going anywhere with them just leaving the thing an aimless, bloated disaster that's significantly messier than the much tighter source material. You know, exactly like Beauty and the Beast.

Remember when Sora and Riku saved Quasimodo with imaginary stuffed animal friends and had fun? That's the best version of Hunchback. Nah, the best version is clearly the one where Esmerelda Melody had friends who were talking musical instruments, and she fell in love with & married Quasimodo, while thwarting Quasimodo's evil brother Jean Claude(Frolo).

I can only say one thing about your poor choice of best version.

I'll put $ on Megan Fox being cast as Esmerelda. I’ll take that bet. Easily. No way I see them casting Fox.

No, the best version is when the Coach let's him play in the final play of the game and he sacks the quarterback and gets carried off the field by his teammates while everybody cheers him. Wait, am I thinking of the wrong Notre Dame movie?

I'd figure they're probably going to cast someone Romani in the role... which is admittedly kind of ironic given how in the book she, you know, isn't, but there's a reason pretty much every adaptation ignores that extremely racist plot point.

I for one will be offended deeply if a real hunchback is not cast in the lead role. Make him look like the one in 300.

I would rather see a remake of the movie "Big Man On Campus."
