Hairy explanation

The recent title switch of Disney's next animated feature from "Rapunzel" to "Tangled" was vaguely ascribed to "a filmmaker decision." The real reason, says the Los Angeles Times, is that the studio thought the new title would appeal to more boys in the wake of the $222 million "failure" of "The Princess and the Frog." "We did not want to be put in a box," said Ed Catmull, president of Pixar and Disney Animation. "Some people might assume it's a fairy tale for girls when it's not." C'mon, give the lads some credit.

The final reel

Harvey Weinstein will get the documentary treatment -- from Quentin Tarantino. ... Viggo Mortensen replaces Christoph Waltz as Sigmund Freud in David Cronenberg's "The Talking Cure." ... Jane Fonda says she wants Kate Bosworth to star in any "Barbarella" remake. ... Jonah Hill will take over from Demetri Martin in "Moneyball." ... Ralph Fiennes has persuaded Vanessa Redgrave and Brian Cox to join his directorial debut, "Coriolanus."
