Yet another lazy-ass Disney live-action remake of their animated movies ...


Live-Action Tangled Adaptation in the Works At Disney
-----------------------------------------------------
Disney is officially working on a live-action adaptation of
the 2010 animated feature Tangled, and have already been in
negotiations with a potential director, according to a
recent report from Deadline.

What do we know about the live-action Tangled?
Deadline's latest report notes that Michael Gracey, who
directed 2017's The Greatest Showman and is directing the
upcoming Robbie Williams biopic Better Man, is in talks to
direct the live-action film, although nothing is confirmed
as of yet.

Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge, Thor: Love and Thunder)
is said to have written the most recent draft of the script.
Kristin Burr and Lucy Kitada are also said to be attached to
produce the film. It's unclear whether the film will follow
the animated film's story beat-for-beat, but the report notes
that it will follow along the lines of it.

Originally released in 2010, Tangled is loosely based on the
iconic tale of Rapunzel, first found in the collection of
folktales from the Brothers Grimm. The story follows Rapunzel,
a princess with magical blonde hair, as she escapes her tower
with the help of the outlaw Flynn Rider. The two then embark
on a rollicking romantic adventure.

The original film starred Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi, Donna
Murphy, Brad Garrett, Ron Perlman, Jeffrey Tambor, Richard
Kiel, M.C. Gainey, and Paul F. Tompkins. It was a massive hit
for Disney, earning more than $590 million at the global box
office and becoming one of the 10 highest-grossing films of
2010. Since its release, a short film and television series
based on the project were also released.
