Walt Disney has unveiled the teaser trailer for the live-action prequel Cruella [CRULA] based on the villain from 101 Dalmatians. Emma Stone [ESTON] stars as Cruella de Vil. Directed by Craig Gillespie, Cruella will arrive on May 28, 2021, currently scheduled for in theaters and/or possibly premiering on Disney Plus as well.
“Cruella,” which is set in 1970s London amidst the punk rock revolution, follows a young grifter named Estella, a clever and creative girl determined to make a name for herself with her designs. She befriends a pair of young thieves who appreciate her appetite for mischief, and together they are able to build a life for themselves on the London streets. One day, Estella’s flair for fashion catches the eye of the Baroness von Hellman, a fashion legend who is devastatingly chic and terrifyingly haute, played by Emma Thompson. But their relationship sets in motion a course of events and revelations that will cause Estella to embrace her wicked side and become the raucous, fashionable and revenge-bent Cruella.
