January 1, 2019
Walt Disney Studios has been busy recently cranking out live-action remakes of their vast animated library. With the success of Beauty and the Beast, The Jungle Book, and Lion King (coming soon), it's surely only a matter of time before they create a live-action adaptation of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. If they were to cast this movie today, who would you like to see play each role? Vote below!
Quasimodo
Quasimodo is Notre Dame Cathedral's 20-year-old hunchbacked bell ringer who dreams of seeing life outside the bell tower. Despite the fact that Quasimodo is being constantly informed by his guardian Judge Claude Frollo that he is an ugly monster, Clopin's opening song asks listeners to judge for themselves "what makes a monster and what makes a man" of the two.

Esmeralda
Esmeralda is a beautiful, streetwise Gypsy dancing girl who befriends Quasimodo and shows him that his soul is truly beautiful, even if his exterior is not. Highly independent and strong-minded, she abhors Frollo's cruel treatment of Paris's gypsies and other outcasts, and seeks justice for them throughout the film. She falls in love with (and later marries) Captain Phoebus.

Frollo
Judge Claude Frollo is a ruthless, self-righteous and religiously pious Minister of Justice of Paris who is Quasimodo's reluctant guardian. Due to his god complex, he believes that he is above everyone else and can do no wrong, and that the world around him is full of corruption except within himself. This is shown by his intense hatred of the gypsy population and his desire to wipe out their entire race. Like his original character in Victor Hugo's novel, Frollo displays a sadistic and lustful obsession with Esmeralda. Frollo generally believes all he does is in God's will, despite frequent disagreements with the cathedral's Archdeacon.
