Disney has reportedly hit the brakes on its live-action remake of Tangled, sparking wider questions about the future of the studio's ongoing remake strategy. The development comes in the wake of the underwhelming performance and controversy surrounding the Snow White live action remake, which failed to meet expectations at the box officer despite an impressive ensemble cast and a hefty production.
According to reports, Tangled which is written by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Thor: Love and Thunder) and has Michael Gracey on board as a director had already entered pre-production and casting discussions were reportedly underway. However, studio insiders say that the project was abruptly paused following the fallout from Snow White.
