Cruella is an upcoming American live-action film which will be distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. Based on the 1961 Walt Disney Animation Studios feature film One Hundred and One Dalmatians, the film serves as an origin story of Cruella De Vil.
Synopsis
Estella (Cruella De Vil) lives on the streets of 1970's London with other hoodlums, where we learn the real origins behind Estella's hatred of Dalmatians.
Cast
- Emma Stone as Cruella De Vil[2]
- Paul Walter Hauser as Horace
- Joel Fry as Jasper[3]
- Mark Strong as Boris
- Emma Thompson as Baroness[4]
- Emily Beecham as Anita
- Gianni Calchetti
- Kate Margo

Production
Glenn Close, Andrew Gunn, Aline Brosh McKenna and Marc Platt will serve as producers of the film.[5] McKenna was also hired as the writer of the film; in October 2015, she was replaced by Kelly Marcel, who also wrote the screenplay for Saving Mr. Banks.
This is not the first time 101 Dalmatians was adapted in live-action. The 1996 film and its sequel were the first two.
The film itself is an origin story for Cruella, hence making it a prequel to the 101 Dalmatians story. However, as the film is live action, it's not to be considered canon to 101 Dalmatians.
In January 2016, it was reported that Emma Stone is in negotiations to play Cruella.[6] In April 2016, Disney confirmed that she will indeed play the character.[2]
In December 2016, Alex Timbers was confirmed to direct the film.[7] However, it was announced that Timbers will no longer be directing Cruella due to scheduling conflicts and will be replaced by the I, Tonya director Craig Gillespie.[8]
Trivia
- Cruella is the second Disney live-action adaptation to feature the perspective of the villain, after Maleficent.
- Glenn Close, one of the executive producers of the film, played the character of Cruella in the 1996 live-action adaptation of 101 Dalmatians and its sequel.
