Risky Business is reporting that Paramount Pictures has bought an original pitch from rookie screenwriters Willie Block and Jake Emanuel. The high-concept action-adventure story mixes original ideas with the framework of the traditional Hunchback of Notre Dame story.
Said to be in the vein of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies, the film’s plotline is being kept under wraps by producers Lorenzo di Bonaventura (“Transformers”) and Mark Vahradian of Di Bonaventura Pictures.
Block and Emanuel also wrote the action-comedy spec script F*ck You I Win.
