News Live-Action Tangled Remake in Development

[Disney Irish]

I'd be perfectly happy with new fan favorite Meg Donnelly, since Anna Sophia Robb has aged out. She is only 24 and fits the character almost perfectly.

Her benefit is she already has a good working relationship with Disney on numerous projects. So might be a good fit there as well. Though she hasn't had much film work, working mostly in TV, so does she have what it takes to transition to the big screen.

I don't want any actors who can do 'all right' in singing. I want a knock your socks off cast of real singers.

 

[coffeefan]

Disney loves working with their child stars again, so Sabrina is possible.

 

[Disneyhead'71]

She’s almost certainly a better singer than Hahn, but - and pardon the heresy - she is not a big enough “name” for the film. They’d likely go with a more known box office quantity (to be fair - Hahn has had modest success in this area).

It depends on who they cast as Rapunzel. If they go with a bigger name - Sabrina Carpenter?* - they may have more latitude to go with a more talented though lesser known box office quantity.

*Her box office appeal is unclear.

I don't know what you are talking about, Adele Kazeem is really famous.

I could see also Dove Cameron in the role as Rapunzel as well.

In search of inclusion, I nominate Danny DeVito for the role of Rapunzel.

Probably for the best. The live action remake train may be coming to an end, given the discourse and uncertainty they cause.

I’d rather Disney try focusing on originals again.

Well, from the sound of it they already incorporated most of what you would expect from the crappy version of Tangled in their crappy version of Snow White.

Good. They need to rethink the way they operate.

Hooray!

The only live action remake Disney should be making is the Black Cauldron.

 

[MisterPenguin]

A pause seems plausible. But don't count on it to last.

Disney's live studios used to put out about 7 flops for every successful tentpole making the overall finances a wash (in the theatrical window).

The current live-action-remake along with sequels and prequels are batting .500, making the franchise train a bigger success than what came before.

Doubling and tripling down on franchises is what made Disney movies financially revive (over all) in the post-pandemic era, and was the announced strategy.

So... again... I wouldn't bet that the rumor of this pause signals a big change in direction.

 

[Hawkeye_2018]

It's crazy that instead of making an animated sequel, which would do huge numbers (see Moana 2), they opted to do another live action remake that nobody asked for and would do maybe half the box office.

 

[MickeyMouse10]

Uh Oh, from the writer of Thor: Love and Thunder.

I don't know why they don't hire people with better Résumés. I guess they want to have someone to blame when things go wrong. "We should have supervised her."

 

[MickeyMouse10]

It's really a shame that Anna Sophia Robb has possibly aged out of the role. She would have been perfect for it. But I'd be perfectly fine with Meg Donnelly, whose my second choice.

 

[Baloo124]

There's a good reason why casting is done by professionals hired to, you know, cast actors, and not left up to plebes behind a keyboard.

 

[MickeyMouse10]

I'd trust people on the internet more than Disney. A blind squirrel could do better casting jobs than them.

Here we go, the Disney Brigade has showed up. To defend the poor Billion dollar company and their awful casting choices.

 

[The Great Gonzo]

I just want whoever it is to look like Rapunzel. Like they did with the Lilo and Stitch castings. It takes me out of the movie or show if they don't look like the character.

 

[Disney Irish]

Not sure why we're talking about fan casting anyways when the movie appears to be paused (maybe cancelled) right now.
