Victor Hugo’s 1831 classic The Hunchback of Notre Dame is up for yet another live-action adaptation. And this time, Idris Elba is the driving force behind it.

As revealed by The Wrap, Elba will direct and star in a new take on this famed property for Netflix. In addition to that, the Lucifer star will also be overseeing the picture’s music.

The title for this project has yet to be revealed, and no further details are known at this early stage.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame, of course, has been adapted plentiful times over the years, with the first of those to happen back in 1911. The most significant takes on the property are Walt Disney’s animated 1996 effort and Universal Studios’ live-action take from 1923.

Expect more on this new The Hunchback of Notre Dame adaptation as it develops.
