Disney Allegedly Considering Baz Luhrmann for Live-Action Remake of Tangled

Reports suggest that renowned filmmaker Baz Luhrmann might collaborate with Disney once again to bring the story of Tangled to life on the big screen.

Disney is revisiting the tale of Rapunzel in a live-action remake of Tangled. Recent rumors propose that acclaimed director Baz Luhrmann is being considered as the top choice to direct this project.

Originally released in 2010 and featuring the voices of Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi, Tangled narrates the journey of Rapunzel, a girl with extraordinarily long hair who has spent her life confined in a tower. She was taken by Mother Gothel as a child to preserve her youth, though Rapunzel is unaware of this sinister motive. In Rapunzel’s eyes, her captor is her protector.

The plot takes a twist when Flynn Rider, a wanted thief, takes refuge in Rapunzel’s tower and their meeting sets in motion an extraordinary adventure. He aims to escape his pursuers, while she longs to explore the world beyond her isolated existence and unearth her true identity.

Rumors about Disney adapting Tangled into a live-action format have circulated for some time. Fans have expressed a desire to see Florence Pugh play Rapunzel and Zachary Levi has openly expressed his interest in reprising his role as Flynn Rider alongside the acclaimed actress.

According to a recent report from movie insider Daniel Ritchman (via One Take News), Disney is considering enlisting the talents of Baz Luhrmann, renowned for his creative visual projects often intertwined with music, such as Moulin Rouge, and his unique take on classic love stories as seen in Romeo + Juliet. Luhrmann’s distinct style could make him a fitting choice for a beloved film like Tangled.

Disney’s pipeline of upcoming live-action adaptations includes Snow White, with Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot in the lead roles. This project has stirred anticipation and controversy, particularly surrounding the portrayal of the Seven Dwarfs and the dynamics of Snow White’s romantic narrative.

Additionally, Disney has confirmed plans for live-action adaptations of other classics, including Hercules (1997), Lilo & Stitch (2002), Moana (2010s), featuring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s return as Maui, and The Aristocats (1970), which will leverage CGI techniques similar to those used in the recent live-action rendition of The Lion King. Rumors are also circulating about potential live-action treatments for films like The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Robin Hood, The Sword in the Stone, and Bambi in the near future.
