Disney is officially working on a live-action adaptation of the 2010 animated feature Tangled, and have been in negotiations with a director.
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 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.
