Cruella | Disney | May 28 2021 | Disney+ premiere access hybrid release

[Fancyarcher]

Next year, Walt Disney Pictures is bringing to the big screen Angelina Jolie as Maleficent, a live-action take on the iconic villainess from the studio's 1959 animated classic, Sleeping Beauty. Today, The Hollywood Reporter brings word that another villain-led feature is on the way with Cruella, following the story of 101 Dalmatians' Cruella de Vil.

De Vil, who originated in Dodie Smith's 1956 book, "The Hundred and One Dalmatians," was voiced by Betty Lou Gerson in Disney's 1961 animated adaptation and played by Glenn Close in the 1996 live-action take (as well as in that film's 2000 sequel, 102 Dalmatians). Smith also briefly revisited the character in her lesser-known science fiction sequel book, "The Starlight Barking."

Aline Brosh McKenna, best known for writing The Devil Wears Prada, will provide the screenplay with Andrew Gunn attached to produce.

 

Thoughts? I think this will definitely be cancelled, if Maleficent flops.

Ehhh I already enjoyed Close in the 1996 version-no need to do it again.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

I loved the 102 Dalmatians movie, I have never seen the first live action film though. And was there a 102 Dalmatians cartoon?

[Impact]

Yes there was an animated film of 101 in 1961

Article says Maleficent filming just began, that can't be right.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

I asked if there was a 102 Dalmatians animated film.

I asked if there was a 102 Dalmatians animated film.

 

I believe there was a straight to video sequel to the animation but I believe it was called the Twilight Bark.

 

I could be dreaming again though here.

[Fancyarcher]

So with the success of Maleficent this project is pretty much greenlit I presume.

[Ezen Baklattan]

How the hell are they going to justify her wanting to make a coat out of puppies?!

No, actually she doesn't want to make puppies out of the coat, she takes them away because Roger (the true villain fo the story) was abusing them, the whole coat thing was just a getup.

 

In fact now Cruella is now a good hearted person instead of being a angry fashion designer.

British Fifty Shades of Grey screenwriter Kelly Marcel is attached to write Disney's Cruella, based on the steely and well-appointed villainess Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmations.

Marcel is no stranger on the Disney lot, having written Savings Mr. Banks.

Word that Disney is fast-tracking Cruella comes after the studio dated no fewer than four untitled live-action films drawing from its  animated vault. That's in addition to several movies that have already been dated; Jon Favreau's The Jungle Book (April 15, 2016), Tim Burton's sequel Alice Through the Looking Glass (May 27, 2016) and Bill Condon's Beauty and the Beast (March 17, 2017).

For fuck's sake, if they try to make a woman who wanted to skin puppies alive sympathetic...

[Cochofles]

Regardless of what they do script-and-directing-wise, I don't think anyone will come even close to matching, let alone surpassing, the immaculately conceived visual aspect of Glenn Close's Cruella in the nineties live-action 101D. The combo of Close's facial features and physicality plus the costumes and overall aesthetic design was absolutely, wickedly perfect.

[CoolioD1]

This is gonna be some "her daughter was ripped to shreds by those parent dalmations" bullshit I can tell.

[Cochofles]

For fuck's sake, if they try to make a woman who wanted to skin puppies alive sympathetic...

 They will put the blame on a pack of rabid dogs' killing her mother while she watched (as a child) or something...

Potentially the 4 "Untitled" fairy tale live action adaptations may be:

 

- Cruella

- Tink

- Dumbo

- Aladdin

 

These are the 4 announced without dates

[Jack Nevada]

Oh no. No no no.

[Fancyarcher]

Already a thread.
