Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman) has entered negotiations to direct a live-action Tangled film for Disney, Deadline can reveal.

A modern retelling of the classic Rapunzel fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, Tangled is being described as a revival of Disney’s Oscar-nominated 2010 animated feature of the same name, which was the 50th put out by the studio. Plot details are under wraps but the film is expected to follow along the lines of the animated version.

Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, the multi-hyphenate behind titles like Do Revenge, Thor: Love and Thunder and Sony’s upcoming reboot of I Know What You Did Last Summer, penned the most recent draft of the script. Kristin Burr and Lucy Kitada will produce for Burr! Productions. No word yet on casting.

Of course they are. *sigh*

 

[LittleBuford]

These live-action remakes are getting a bit much!

 

[Disney Irish]

They can't stop until they do all of them.

 

[Phroobar]

Where is the Black Cauldron live action remake? That one would actually be good.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Maybe they'll add enough songs to make it a full musical.

 

[lazyboy97o]

They should cast Reese Witherspoon and set it in San Francisco.

 

[Animaniac93-98]

Where is the Black Cauldron live action remake? That one would actually be good.

It was put into development and then dropped

Where is the Black Cauldron live action remake? That one would actually be good.

I've been very, VERY hard on the Disney live action remakes. But I've said from the beginning, this would be the one I would see opening day. Because there's actually, a reason to make it.

The only one I'd actually pay to see in theaters. Disney's doing it all wrong. Why not take the lower performers and turn them into live action. A redemption of sorts but also still having enough name recognition to drive sales and put butts in seats. Black Cauldron would be a fantastic choice for live action!

 

[Phroobar]

There is so much source material for the Chronicles of Prydain that it could be their Lord of the Rings. It doesn't have to be a musical. Lilo & Stitch isn't.

 

[MarvelCharacterNerd]

I've waited my entire life for a proper screen version of the Chronicles of Prydain.

Still waiting...

But in all seriousness, it needs to either be a multi-season series with each book as one fully pre-plotted out season or a multi-movie series, one movie per book, planned in advance as a complete film series with one artistic vision ala LOTR, not haphazard as poor Narnia was handled.

They should cast Reese Witherspoon and set it in San Francisco.

They could call it “Legally Blonde Entanglements”.

 

[MickeyMouse10]

One things for certain, Rapunzel will not look like Rapunzel.

 

[Tha Realest]

One things for certain, Rapunzel will not look like Rapunzel.

Another certainty - Zachary Levi will not be in this film.

 

[MickeyMouse10]

Another certainty - Zachary Levi will not be in this film.

They'll probably cast Amandla Stenberg as Rapunzel.

 

[Disgruntled Walt]

If they were making hand-drawn, traditionally animated remakes, that would be something I'd line up to see.

 

[TsWade2]

I rather have Tangled as a Broadway musical than a live action remake!

 

[Disney Irish]

They'll probably cast Amandla Stenberg as Rapunzel.

Florence Pugh or Sabrina Carpenter are more likely.

 

[Disney Irish]

I rather have Tangled as a Broadway musical than a live action remake!

Good thing they are doing both -
