Northern Ireland director Sir Kenneth Branagh is to direct a new feature-length film based on the animated 1990s favourite Gargoyles.

The Oscar-winning director will steer the feature, which has been widely anticipated since the original series concluded.

 

The concept was scrapped after the series concluded, and in 2011 the writing team of David Elliot and Paul Lovett (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra) was tapped to write a new -script.

 

Gargoyles premiered in 1994 and ran for three seasons, a total of 78 episodes, and was renamed Gargoyles: The Goliath Chronicles in its third and final season. It featured a clan of gargoyles as heroes transplanted from the 10th century to the modern day. Back in the middle ages, most of the clan is killed while Goliath and a small group of other gargoyles are cursed to be frozen in stone until their castle somehow reaches above the clouds. Goliath and his comrades awaken in the twentieth century, after the wealthy David Xanatos buys the castle and has it transported to, and reconstructed atop, his New York City skyscraper.

 

Branagh is one of a growing list of renowned directors taking on Disney’s ive-action adaptations.

Never even heard of that title, mind you I’d found booze and girls and class A and B by that time so I’m not surprised. Sounds interesting.
