At present, there are no definite plot specifics available. However, "Deadline" has pointed out that the script is anticipated to closely adhere to the animated version of "Tangled", which featured the talented Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi, and Donna Murphy. This gives fans hope that the essence and charm of the original will be preserved in the live-action adaptation.
The choice of Michael Gracey as the director is a significant one. His previous work on "The Greatest Showman" demonstrated his ability to create a visually stunning and emotionally engaging cinematic experience. With his expertise at the helm, audiences can expect something truly remarkable.
When it comes to the music aspect, there is no news yet regarding whether the live-action version will enlist the talents of composer Alan Menken and lyricist Glenn Slater. These two artists were nominated for a joint 2011 Oscar for Best Original Song for "I See the Light" in the animated film. Their contribution added a magical touch to the original, and fans are eagerly awaiting any updates on their involvement in the live-action remake.
The music plays a crucial role in "Tangled", and its absence or presence could greatly impact the overall feel of the movie. If Menken and Slater do return, it will be a treat for the ears and add another layer of nostalgia to the live-action adaptation.
Regarding the casting of the roles of Mandy Moore's Rapunzel and Zachary Levi's Flynn Ryder, while the details are still under wraps, Mandy herself has expressed her thoughts on who could carry off Rapunzel's iconic long hair. She has mentioned Sabrina Carpenter as a potential candidate. Sabrina's talent and charm make her a worthy contender, and fans are excited to see how she would bring the character to life.
The casting process is a crucial part of any movie, and it will be interesting to see who will ultimately be chosen to fill these beloved roles. Each actor brings their own unique interpretation and energy to a character, and it will be fascinating to see how the new cast members approach "Tangled" in the live-action format.
