Disney's live-action Gargoyles series has landed its writer, in the form of Annabelle writer and Salem's Lot director Gary Dauberman.
The Big Picture The cult-classic '90s animated series Gargoyles is getting a live-action animated adaptation, courtesy of James Wan's Atomic Monster production company. The new series is being developed for Disney Plus. The Hollywood Reporter reports that the long-rumored revitalization of the fan-favorite property is now in development by Annabelle maestro Gary Dauberman, who will write, showrun, and executive produce the series; Atomic Monster will also executive produce.
The series concerns a clan of gargoyle warriors who were trapped in stone form for a millennium; reawakened when they're purchased and moved to New York by unscrupulous tycoon David Xanatos, they make allies and battle evils old and new in a strange modern world.
What Is 'Gargoyles'? First airing in 1994, Gargoyles was one of Disney's first attempts at an animated action cartoon. The show featured uncommonly mature writing for a kid-aimed animated series of the time, with long-running storylines, allusions to Shakespeare and ancient mythology, and an anti-gun-violence episode that was so shocking in its depiction of a gunshot injury that subsequent airings were edited.
Dauberman has had a very successful run of horror films; he wrote the sleeper hit Conjuring spinoff Annabelle and its prequel Annabelle: Creation before making his directorial debut with Annabelle Comes Home. He also wrote The Nun and the bifurcated adaptation of Stephen King's It. His sophomore directorial effort is another King adaption, Salem's Lot; its release has yet to be scheduled.
