Originally proposed by Disney animator Glen Keane in 2001, Tangled spent six years in production at a cost that has been estimated at $260 million, which, if accurate, would make it the most expensive animated feature film ever made and one of the most expensive films of all time. It is officially making a comeback this time as a live-action film. According to Deadline, after putting the project on hold earlier this year in April, Disney has decided to move forward with the live-action remake of the 2010 hit movie. Michael Gracey, best known for directing The Greatest Showman, has been signed on to direct the adaptation.
Role of Mother Gothel
While the casting is still being finalised, reports suggest that Scarlett Johansson, 40, is in talks to play the role of Mother Gothel, Rapunzel's manipulative captor, a role originally voiced by Donna Murphy in the animated version. Mother Gothel is a very complex villain. The character is forced to rely on her wit, charisma and intelligence as opposed to sorcery to survive. The film's most difficult character to develop, Gothel's appearance, whose beauty, dark curly hair and voluptuous figure were deliberately designed to serve as a contrast to Rapunzel's, was inspired by the appearance of Murphy herself and American singer Cher.
Tangled original film
Tangled follows the tale of Princess Rapunzel, a young woman with magical, long blonde hair who escapes her tower with the help of a charming thief named Flynn Rider. The original animated film, inspired by the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, starred Mandy Moore as the voice of Rapunzel and Zachary Levi as Flynn. Following its success, Tangled had two spin-offs: the 2012 short film Tangled Ever After and the 2017 animated TV series Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure. In November 2020, Moore and Levi reunited in a special video for Walt Disney Animation Studios to celebrate the movie's 10th anniversary.
Cast of the remake
Earlier this year, actor Corey Mylchreest revealed in an interview with Seventeen magazine that he had auditioned for the role of Flynn Rider. The interview took place shortly after Disney paused the project. Meanwhile, the Disney Live Action division continues to finalise its cast, recently acquiring the rights to Impossible Creatures as part of its ongoing effort to reimagine beloved stories with a fresh, modern perspective.
