Disney's GARGOYLES to Get Live-Action Series Adaptation From Producer James Wan and Writer Gary Dauberman

Disney Studios is finally officially moving forward on a live-action adaptation of the hit ‘90s animated series Gargoyles! The news comes from THR, and they are reporting that the project is being produced by James Wan and the script is being written by Gary Dauberman.

They report that Dauberman will write, executive produce, and be the showrunner of the series with Atomic Monster, which is Wan’s production company. Dauberman and Wan have worked on several projects together over the years including a couple of the Annabelle films and The Nun movies. He also worked on the big-screen adaptation of Stephen King’s IT.

There’s a solid team of talent here looking to bring Gargoyles to life, and the fans can only hope that they do the project justice.

Gargoyles is an incredibly well-made series known for its dark tone, complex storylines, and rich character development. The series centers on a group of nocturnal creatures known as gargoyles, who turn to stone during the day and come alive at night.

These gargoyles once protected a medieval Scottish castle, but after a betrayal, they were cursed to remain in stone until the castle rose above the clouds. A thousand years later, wealthy businessman David Xanatos transports the castle to the top of his New York City skyscraper, awakening the gargoyles.

Now in a modern world, the gargoyles, led by Goliath, must navigate the complexities of contemporary society while facing various adversaries, both human and supernatural, and dealing with the traumas of their past.

I loved this show, and it would be nice if the production enlisted the help of those people who actually developed the animated show to ensure that they actually get it right and capture the spirit of the show.

Also, there was fake news being spread about Kenneth Branagh directing a movie, but he’s not involved with this.
