Interestingly, this is not the first time we've heard about a Gargoyles live-action movie. They remain encased in stone by day, but by night become the city's protectors. The show centers on a group of gargoyles who have been frozen in stone for 1,000 years. Gargoyles aired for just three seasons from 1994 to 1997, but produced 78 episodes in that time. It'd just be another way to let the show live and breathe again. We had some pretty astounding, startling, wonderful visuals in the animated series, and seeing them in a live-action setting could be just badass. You could really bring that show to life in a way that I think would be really cool. You could have Marina Sirtis play Demona, because those would be CGI characters in a live-action world. But you could have Keith David play Goliath. I don't know that it would be better in live action, and God knows it could certainly be worse. Just the prestige to let me do more in animation. When asked what live-action would add to the universe, Weisman was quite candid in his response. But he still wants to see the property revived in some way. As he mentions, Disney owns Gargoyles outright and he isn't making any money from it right now. Greg Weisman clearly has a passion for the property. But if something is done with it, and I think being on Disney+ counts as something, there's at least a shot at allowing us to tell more stories in that universe. As long as nothing is being done with it, that's impossible. And I'd love to see the property be able to grow.
Disney owns it 100%, but I obviously feel territorial about it.
But even if it sucked, it might be high-profile enough to let us do more Gargoyles comics, or more of the show. Obviously no one wants a bad version of Gargoyles, and if it sucked, that would be horrible. "I'd love to, especially if they let me write and produce it.
