Disney Turns to Stone With Untitled 'Gargoyles' Project
With The Sorcerer’s Apprentice opening Wednesday, Disney is staying on the magic path with an untitled gargoyles project, reports Heat Vision. The project seeks to build a mythology around the carvings, originally designed in medieval times to act as spouts but later took on roles as powerful symbols to ward off or attract evil. The story is being developed, but it is known to be set in modern times. The studio is in the process of hiring Zoe Green to develop a story revolving around the stone creatures for a feature project. Green has carved a little space for herself in the fantasy field. She wrote “Tigress,” which Stan Lee’s POWcq Entertainment is producing for Disney, and sold a fantasy project titled “Book of Shadows” for Castle Rock as a directing vehicle for Rob Reiner. She also was hired to adapt the Neal Stephenson novel “The Diamond Age” for George Clooney’s Smoke House and Syfy.
So...Maybe it's based on THE Gargoyles, but I'm venturing to guess its more than likely not.
I'm hoping against hope though, after all, these look like some fierce versions of Lexington, no?
