Monday evening, award-winning actor Josh Gad took to Instagram to post his approval of a fan-made poster for Disney’s previously announced live-action Hunchback of Notre Dame film.
While Gad hasn’t publicly commented on the project since 2021, the brief caption he wrote alongside the post not only expressed approval of the fan art, but offered a surprisingly major update on the status of the project too.
When the film was first announced to be in development in 2019, it was revealed that Tony-winning M. Butterfly playwright David Henry Hwang had been hired by Disney to write the film. Once again, we just want to clarify that this is the first time since then the script’s completion has been acknowledged.
Regardless of what stage this project is in, we are just happy to see is still alive – even if it is in the form of a promising script at this point.
