Disney taps GI Joe scribes for live-action Gargoyles movie

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Wasn’t Rae Dawn Chong in some sort of Gargoyles segment of a movie? Oh right, it was TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE: THE MOVIE. Yes yes, I remember now…

Getting on topic, it seems Disney is intent on bringing a live-action version of GARGOYLES to the big-screen. So intent in fact that they’ve hired G.I. JOE scribes David Elliot and Paul Lovett to adapt the screenplay.

According to Variety, the project is not tied to “Gargoyles,” the popular animated TV series that Disney produced in the 1990s. Instead, it centers on a world in which the stony statues on buildings come to life. Elliot and Lovett would portray them as guardian angels for the cities in which they reside.

Guardian angels? Not tied to the original GARGOYLES? I know Disney is wading into deeper and darker waters, but this is starting to sound like it may be a bit too infantile for us Arrow in the Headers.

We shall see…
