The Bells Of Notre Dame (2015 film)

The Bells of Notre Dame (2015) is a modernized film adaptation of Victor Hugo's novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame. It is also loosely based on the Disney and the 1939 adaptations, with Claude as the good priest of Notre Dame, and his brother Jehan (Gene in this version) as the evil judge.

Also, unlike other adaptations, the plot is retold from the perspective of the Frollo brothers, thus making Claude the protagonist instead of Quasimodo or Esmeralda, and also tells the story of them growing up.
