Diego Luna Joins Disney's TANGLED Live Action Remake

"Andor" star Diego Luna has signed on to star in Disney's upcoming live-action adaptation of the studio's animated film "Tangled". The film will be directed by Michael Gracey ("The Greatest Showman") from a screenplay by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson ("I Know What You Did Last Summer") and Michael Montemayor ("Everyone I Love Is Dead"). Filming is set to commence in Spain this June. A release date has not yet been announced.

The cast also includes Teagan Croft ("Titans"), Milo Manheim ("Zombies") and Kathryn Hahn ("The Studio"). Luna will appear in an all-new role created for the film.

The original animated film's story is a retelling of the Brothers Grimm fairytale story of the magically long-haired Rapunzel. In the film, Rapunzel is locked up by her overly protective mother, but her wish to escape into the world outside finally comes true when she meets the good-hearted thief Flynn. Released in 2010, "Tangled" grossed over $591 million worldwide and spawned a Disney Channel series. It received an Oscar nomination for Alan Menken's song "I See the Light".

Kristin Burr will produce for Burr! Productions. Jessica Virtue, EVP of production, is overseeing the project for Disney Live Action.

Luna can next be seen in "Ashes", which he directed and co-wrote based on the acclaimed Spanish-language novel written by Brenda Navarro. It will premiere at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival. Luna will also star in Netflix's "Mexico 86", and he recently wrapped production on the film "Eleven Days".

Netflix's ASSASSIN'S CREED Live-Action Series Starts Filming in Rome

As Netflix's live-action "Assassin's Creed" series has started production at Rome's Cinecittà Studios on March 9th, the streamer has revealed that the show is an original story set in 64 A.D. in the heart of the Roman Empire. With a scheduled filming duration of seven months, it is expected to wrap in October. The show will also shoot in Rome's Lazio region and in Tuscany.

The official synopsis reads as follows: "Assassin's Creed is a high-octane thriller centered on the secret war between two shadowy factions—one set on determining mankind's future through control and manipulation, while the other fights to preserve free will. The series follows its characters across pivotal historical events as they battle to shape humanity's destiny."

Johan Renck ("Chernobyl") directs, while Emmy nominees Roberto Patino ("Westworld", "Sons of Anarchy") and David Wiener ("Halo", "The Killing", "Homecoming") serve creators, showrunners and executive producers. The adaptation is the first series to be developed under Netflix's partnership with Ubisoft for "Assassin’s Creed".

The series stars Lola Petticrew, Toby Wallace, Zachary Hart, Laura Marcus, Tanzyn Crawford, Nabhann Rizwan, Claes Bang, Noomi Rapace, Ramzy Bedia, Sean Harris, and Corrado Invernizzi. Netflix also revealed new additions to the cast: Louis McCartney ("Stranger Things: The First Shadow"), Mirren Mack ("28 Years Later: The Bone Temple"), Youssef Kerkour ("A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms") and Sandra Guldberg-Kampp ("Foundation").

The production team includes Italian costume designer Carlo Poggioli ("The Leopard", "The New Pope"), and line producer Nicola Rosada ("Emily in Paris", "La Dolce Villa").

Cinecittà Studios CEO Manuela Cacciamani said in a statement: "I am honored that Netflix has chosen our studios and our sets to create such a spectacular, ambitious series that is eagerly anticipated around the world. It is a sign of the credibility and reputation that Cinecittà enjoys internationally, and of the professional guarantee we offer to every kind of production, of any genre and scale. But I am even more honored by the trust placed in our skilled workforce and in our art department, which is collaborating on the creation of truly spectacular sets. With its masters, Cinecittà confirms itself as a recognized artistic excellence and a source of pride for our country.".

With more than 230 million units sold, the "Assassin's Creed" franchise is one of the bestselling series in video game history. The franchise now includes a total of 14 installments. Gerard Guillemot, Margaret Boykin, Austin Dill and Genevieve Jones of Ubisoft Film & Television serve as executive producers, alongside Matt O'Toole.

McKenna Grace Joins SCOOBY-DOO Live-Action Series

Emmy-nominated actress and singer Mckenna Grace ("Regretting You", "Scream 7") has joined the cast of the upcoming Netflix live-action series "Scooby-Doo". Grace will star as a young Daphne Blake as the show will delve into the origins of the Mystery Inc. gang. The actress also voiced the young version of the character in the 2020 animated film "Scoob!", and was attached to reprise the role in the prequel "Scoob! Holiday Haunt" before that film was terminated by Warner Bros. Discovery in order to cut costs. The series has been picked up for eight episodes.

Here is the official synopsis: "During their final summer at camp, old friends Shaggy and Daphne (Grace) get embroiled in a haunting mystery surrounding a lonely lost Great Dane puppy that may have been a witness to a supernatural murder. Together with the pragmatic and scientific townie, Velma, and the strange, but ever so handsome new kid, Freddy, they set out to solve the case that is pulling each of them into a creepy nightmare that threatens to expose all of their secrets."

The show is written by Josh Appelbaum ("Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol") and Scott Rosenberg ("Con Air", "Gone in 60 Seconds"), who also serve as showrunners and executive producers. André Nemec and Jeff Pinkner also executive produce under their Midnight Radio banner, alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Leigh London Redman via Berlanti productions. Warner Bros. Television will produce. Berlanti Productions is currently under an overall deal at WBTV, with the studio controlling the rights to the Hanna-Barbera characters.

Previous live-action "Scooby-Doo" projects include the 2002 film starring Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Matthew Lillard, and Linda Cardellini, a 2004 sequel titled "Scooby-Doo: Monsters Unleashed", and two TV live-action films in 2009 and 2010.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are set to return in a live-action project from Paramount Pictures that will be geared for adults. The studio is developing an adaptation of the ultra-violent graphic novel series "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin" that ran between 2020 and 2022, and was written by Turtles comic co-creator Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz based on an older story by Eastman and his co-creator Peter Laird.

The movie's screenplay is written by Tyler Burton Smith ("Boy Kills World") while former DC Films head Walter Hamada is overseeing production via his company 18hz production company.

The story is set in a bleak, dystopian future in which Oroku Hiroto, the grandson of the Turtles' arch-nemesis, Shredder, rules New York City as a totalitarian despot. Hiroto has killed all but one of the Turtles, as well as their mentor, Splinter; the remaining Turtle seeks revenge by wielding all four of their signature weapons.
