Netflix Casts Idris Elba As Quasimodo In Hunchback Of Notre Dame Remake

We didn't see this one coming.

When you think of Quasimodo, Idris Elba’s face is probably the last one that springs to mind. However, that’s all about to change, as Netflix has cast the Luther star in its upcoming remake of The Hunchback Of Notre Dame.

In one of the most “thinking outside the box” pieces of casting in recent years, Elba will star as the titular hunchback, while also directing, producing and making some of the film’s music. Casual day at the office for him then…

The new version of Victor Hugo’s classic tale will be set in the present day, with Netflix billing it as “a sonic and musical experience”. The project will be Elba’s second gig in the director’s chair, with his debut, the crime thriller Yardie, due out later this year.

The Hunchback Of Notre Dame has yet to receive a release date, but we’re already looking forward to seeing what should be the make-up job of the century…
