Following its debut during tonight’s 2021 Grammy Awards, The Walt Disney Company has released an all-new sneak peek and three hi-res still images from Cruella, which stars Emma Stone as the puppy-bothering villain of the title.
In this new look at the movie, we see Stone's "Queen of Mean" converse with Emma Thompson’s Baroness von Hellman, who insists that young Estrella needs to have a killer instinct to get by in the industry.
Towards the end of the teaser, we see that killer instinct - and a style to match - in full effect.
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 Stone and Michelle Wright (Baby Driver) serving as executive producers.
