Variety reports that Zhang Yimou is in talks to direct Quasimodo for Warner Bros., with Josh Brolin attached to star.

My favorite is the 1939 version with Charles Laughton as the hunchback and Maureen O'Hara as Esmeralda.
Check out the great "Sanctuary" scene from the 1939 film below. Laughton was an amazing Quasimodo:
