  "account": "Disney+ has announced that the live-action adaptation of the beloved 90s animated series Gargoyles will no longer proceed. The project, initially planned for release on the streaming platform, was led by James Wan's production company Atomic Monster. However, creator Greg Weisman confirmed to ComicsOnline that there are currently no plans for a live-action version. The original Gargoyles aired from 1994 to 1997, featuring stone-transforming creatures defending modern-day New York City. Led by Keith David as Goliath, the show made a significant impact on cartoon villainy in the 90s. While the live-action reboot was originally announced in 2023 with writer Gary Dauberman at the helm, Dauberman later revealed that the original series lends itself perfectly to a live-action adaptation while maintaining its dark tone. The original series can still be streamed in its entirety on Disney+.",
