Josh Brolin and Tim Burton are looking to create a new version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Kieran and Michele Mulroney (Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows) have been hired to write the screenplay:

"Hunchback, an 1831 novel by Victor Hugo, tells the story of Quasimodo, a deformed and hunchbacked bell-ringer of the Norte Dame cathedral who tragically falls in love with beautiful gypsy named Esmerelda."

It is said that Tim Burton's participation is based on how the screenplay turns out, so this is a very early announcement, but worth noting for Tim Burton fans.
