In recent years, Netflix has significantly expanded its library with a number of remakes, reboots, and live-action adaptations, putting a fresh spin on beloved tales for a modern audience. Last year, the streaming juggernaut greenlit a dark, live-action feature adaptation of Victor Hugo’s classic 1931 French gothic novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, a 195-year-old historical epic masterpiece that was famously popularized on screen by Walt Disney Pictures in 1986 when the studio released an animated musical version of the tragic tale about a kind-hearted bell-ringer confined to a cathedral tower by his cruel adoptive father.
