Disney
has
finally
released
the
trailer
of
the
Emma
Stone-starrer
Cruella
and
fans
can't
help
but
make
comparisons
with
a
certain
DCEU
villain.
The
trailer
released
on
February
17,
also
stars
Emma
Thompson,
Joel
Fry,
Paul
Walter
Hauser,
Mark
Strong
and
Emily
Beecham
among
others.
The
trailer
begins
with
Emma
Stone's
narration
and
introduction.
The
actress
says
dialogues
like,
"The
thing
is,
I
was
born
brilliant.
Born
bad
--
and
a
little
bit
mad,"
she
also
goes
on
to
call
herself
a
psycho
and
challenges
the
ones
against
her
by
saying,
"I
am
woman,
hear
me
roar."
The
trailer
shows
a
very
young
Cruella
sporting
red
hair
in
a
grim
and
dark
London
in
the
1970s.
She
is
an
aspiring
punk
designer
who
believes
no
one
can
understand
her
sense
of
style.
The
out
of
the
world
designer
then
begins
trying
to
get
society's
wealthiest
people
to
take
notice
of
her.
While
she
is
shot
down,
again
and
again,
she
becomes
the
infamous
Cruella
de
Vil.
The
film's
original
concept
was
in
making
since
2013
and
Emma
Stone
was
finally
brought
on
board
the
project
around
2017.
Directed
by
I,
Tonya
fame
Craig
Gillespie,
Cruella
is
expected
to
be
the
villain's
origin
story
of
sorts.
The
film
will
see
Emma
in
bright
colours
surrounded
by
a
dark
world.
The
trailer
turns
spooky
as
her
crazy
laughter
takes
over
the
music
and
narration,
reminding
very
much
of
DCEU's
Joker.
For
the
unversed,
Cruella
is
inspired
by
Dalmatians
franchise
and
is
not
a
direct
adaptation.
Cruella,
darling,
I'm
so
sorry
the
internet
saw
your
pale
face
and
signature
manic
personality
and
called
you
the
joker...
that
clown
WISHES
he
was
as
iconic
as
you

Disney
has
described
the
film
as,
"In
1970s
London,
young
fashion
designer
Estella
de
Vil
becomes
obsessed
with
dogs'
skins,
especially
Dalmatians,
until
she
eventually
becomes
a
ruthless
and
terrifying
legend
known
as
Cruella."
Glenn
Close,
who
played
Cruella
in
Disney's
1996
remake
of
One
Hundred
and
One
Dalmatians,
102
Dalmatians
(2000),
is
the
executive
producer
of
the
film.
Cruella
is
currently
scheduled
to
hit
the
theatres
on
May
28,
2021.
However,
Disney
CEO
Bob
Chapek
noted
on
the
company's
recent
earnings
call
that
the
theatrical
release
could
change
depending
on
where
the
world
is
at,
with
the
current
pandemic.
The
film
could
also
see
a
hybrid
release
or
wind
up
on
Disney
Plus.
