Trailer Watch: See Emma Stone In CRUELLA On May 28, 2021
Here’s your first look at the upcoming movie CRUELLA.
Academy Award® winner Emma Stone (“La La Land”) stars in Disney’s all-new live-action feature film about the rebellious early days of one of cinemas most notorious – and notoriously fashionable – villains, the legendary Cruella de Vil. “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 two-time Oscar® winner Emma Thompson (“Howards End,” “Sense & Sensibility”). 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.
The Walt Disney Company will be releasing CRUELLA on May 28, 2021.
Our thoughts on the upcoming film?
Jim says: And that trailer earns a resounding “meh” from me. Disney is so determined to create another “universe” with their animation legacy to
match Marvel and Star Wars that they’re squeezing the last juice from
those flicks by now going “retro” and ‘prequel”. The only true Cruella
is the hand-drawn version by the “nine old men” and not Close and
certainly not the talented Ms. Stone.
Michelle: I’m glad it’s not another Disney reimagination trying to make the bad guy misunderstood, like with Maleficent. The villain is the villain, and with the original animated features, they were pure evil from the beginning… however I really want to see the film when it’s released in May.
Over on Twitter, there were comparisons to JOKER.
Disney’s “Cruella” is directed by Craig Gillespie (“I Tonya”) from a screenplay by Dana Fox and Tony McNamara, story by Aline Brosh McKenna and Kelly Marcel & Steve Zissis. It was produced by Andrew Gunn (“Freaky Friday”), Marc Platt (“Mary Poppins Returns”) and Kristin Burr (“Christopher Robin”), with Emma Stone, Michelle Wright, Jared LeBoff and Glenn Close serving as executive producers. Two-time Oscar®- winning costume designer Jenny Beavan (“Mad Max: Fury Road,” “A Room with a View”) creates the dazzling and imaginative costumes, which take on a life of their own.
