The filming of the live-action feature film of Tangled will take place in Tarragona from July 1 to 10. Disney's production will adapt the classic tale of Princess Rapunzel, using natural actors and without digital effects for the faces. The main sequences will require the simultaneous presence of up to 500 people dancing in public spaces.
Selection process and call
The search for extras was structured in two phases distributed across different locations. The organizers announced the openings as an opportunity for an international musical film. The first meeting took place on April 30th, aimed at adults between 25 and 80 years old. The doors of the Hotel Sol Costa Daurada registered numerous queues before opening. The second round was held this Friday exclusively for minors, while the audition for teenagers was managed through digital platforms. Both days maintained a slow pace compared to other similar events.
Technical requirements and external timeline
Approved candidates must comply with strict aesthetic regulations. Men need to keep facial and head hair, while women must maintain natural hair tones and avoid excessive eyebrow plucking. Wardrobe fittings will be concentrated on a single day within the month of June. After finishing tasks in the province of Tarragona, the mobile unit will move to Alicante between June 24 and 30. Subsequently, the team will resume activities in Girona during the period between July 13 and 29. Previous calls in Catalonia generated high demand, especially last Monday in Girona, where early closure was unavoidable due to saturation. This time, logistics allowed for more orderly management.
Local authorities are preparing traffic and security protocols to minimize disruptions during filming. Residents will receive advance notice about temporary road closures and restricted areas. Coordination among municipal services will ensure the smooth development of the film activities.
