    Josh Gad Assures Fans 'Hunchback of Notre Dame' Movie Is 'Getting Closer'

    by

    The Olaf of Disney’s ‘Frozen’ gives update on the long-overdue big-screen adaptation of ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’ and the upcoming new ‘Honey I Shrunk the Kids’ movie.

    Jan 26, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Josh Gad has confirmed “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” adaptation is “getting closer.”
    The actor was revealed in January 2019 to be producing a live-action remake of the movie, and while there is yet to be a public casting announcement by Disney, Gad has teased the film is still moving forward.
    A fan asked Gad for an update on the movie, and suggested Hiba Abouk would be perfect in the role of Esmeralda.
    They wrote on Twitter, “We need to know what’s gonna happen with the hunchback live action remake you are to direct. it’s postponed or cancelled. for the role of esmeralda i truly recommend @HibaAbouk! please have her in mind whenever the casting process starts (sic).”
    Gad – who starred as LeFou in 2017’s “Beauty and the Beast” reboot – replied, “Getting. Closer. And. Closer.”
    David Henry Hwang is penning the script for the film, and Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz are behind the music.

    Gad also offered an update for the new “Honey I Shrunk the Kids” movie, “Shrunk”.
    In response to a fan who asked what happened to the motion picture, he wrote, “Covid happened. We were in pre-production. Just trust. A little patience will go a long way! Honey will shrink the kids again.”
    Rick Moranis is expected to come out of retirement for the project.
    He starred as Wayne Szalinski, an inventor who accidentally shrinks his own and his next door neighbour’s kids before throwing them out with the trash, in the original 1989 film.
    “Frozen” star Gad is expected to portray Wayne’s grown-up son.
    The movie has been described as a “legacyquel”, meaning it will contain elements of the original film’s plot while existing in the same universe as the three films in the franchise and be a continuation of the overall story arc.

      by

      WENN

      Eddie Murphy allegedly rejected the phone calls made by the ‘Frozen’ actor when the latter reached out to bring together the ‘Coming 2 America’ cast members.
      Jun 12, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Eddie Murphy has blocked a “Coming 2 America” reunion as part of Josh Gad’s new viral initiative because he won’t return the “Frozen” star’s calls.
      Gad has brought the casts of “The Lord of the Rings”, “The Goonies”, “Splash”, and “Back to the Future” together via his Reunited Apart virtual hit but he admits there’s one group of actors he’s failed to regroup.
      “I’ve been dying to do the cast of Coming to America but apparently Eddie Murphy does not want to return my calls,” Gad tells “Good Morning America”, revealing he’s also working on a “Ghostbusters” get together and has plans to regroup the stars of “The Princess Bride” and “Beetlejuice”.
      “There’s so many that I want to do, but I’m excited about the ones we have in store.”
      Ironically, the “Coming to America” cast have been getting together – Murphy and company have been shooting a sequel to the 1988 comedy, in which Eddie played an African royal navigating life in New York as he hunts for an American bride.
