Disney is proceeding with its live-action “Tangled” after putting the project indefinitely on pause earlier this year. Casting hasn’t been solidified but Scarlett Johansson is being eyed to star as Mother Gothel.

Disney halted production following the commercial failure of March’s “Snow White” adaptation. But in the following months, the studio’s “Lilo & Stitch” remake struck a major chord at the box office to the tune of $1 billion globally.

“Tangled,” like the original 2010 animated movie, is based on the Brothers Grimm story about the magically long-haired princess Rapunzel. “The Greatest Showman” filmmaker Michael Gracey remains in talks to direct the film from a script by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Sony’s “I Know What You Did Last Summer” reboot). Additional casting has yet to be announced.

More to come…
