However, if not for that I suppose it could have worked. You know it was a novel by Victor Hugo right?

Yes, but I'm still saying that too many people associate it with the musical. Besides, the fact that a film adaptation was recently done, may make it hard to even get television rights to the characters. And while I get you are suggesting they use the book as the source material, I still think it would be complicated, as the musical is based off the book.
