Disney's CRUELLA: Official Teaser Trailer & Posters


Academy Award® winner Emma Stone (“La La Land”) stars in Disney’s “Cruella,” an 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. Disney’s “Cruella” is directed by Craig Gillespie (“I Tonya”) and produced by Andrew Gunn (“Freaky Friday”), Marc Platt (“Mary Poppins Returns”) and Kristin Burr (“Christopher Robin”), with Emma Stone and Michelle Wright (“Baby Driver”) 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.



I am torn between labelling recognising Emma Stone as "Cruella" being a "Disney Princess" ("Good" or "Bad", still a "Princess", no?), or Disney's equivalent to "Harley Quinn", or even "Joker"...? Between the movie posters and the stills, the (eventual) "make-over" cannot be denied ... evoking Michelle Pfeiffer's "Selina Kyle / Catwoman" from 1992's "Batman Returns", innit? GLORIOUS!

CRUELLA premieres May 2021, well after Disney+ has launched in Singapore come Feb 23rd...!
