American theatre chain Alamo Drafthouse has announced that it will be screening the 1939 black-and-white classic "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" to honour France's fire-ravaged iconic cathedral.
An inferno ripped through the iconic Paris landmark on Monday, destroying a large part of its roof and causing its central spire to collapse, leaving the world stunned.
The theatre chain said the screenings will be free for its members of Victory scheme and take place in Austin, New York, San Francisco, Denver, Phoenix, Raleigh, and Tempe between April 22 and May 4.
In a statement, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, Drafthouse CEO Tim League said, "In times of loss, I want to spend time and reminisce and reflect. But I also have a strong desire to revisit, on the big screen, my favourite cinematic memory of Notre Dame and judging from the global response, I don't think I'm alone.
"So we're bringing Charles Laughton's Quasimodo to the big screen at select Alamo Drafthouse locations for a series of free Victory screenings of the 1939 adaptation of 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame'."
