Disney released on Wednesday, February 17, the first official trailer for its upcoming film Cruella, which tells the origin story of “one of cinemas most notorious – and notoriously fashionable – villains.”

Starring Academy Award winner Emma Stone, Cruella is set in 1970s London and follows Estella, a young grifter who wants to make a name for herself through her designs. At the same time, she’s friends with two young thieves, and together, they eke out a living in London.

Estella catches the attention of the fashionista Baroness von Hellman (played by fellow Academy Award winner Emma Thompson). They meet, setting 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.”

Cruella, of course, is the main villain in the beloved Disney movie One Hundred and One Dalmatians, an adaptation of the 1956 novel. Cruella was voiced by Betty Lou Gerson in the 1961 animated movie, and played by Glenn Close in the 1996 live action adaptation.

In 101 Dalmatians, Cruella is a rich heiress who is obsessed with fur and hell-bent on creating a fur coat out of the spotted fur of Dalmatians.

Cruella is set for a May 2021 release, although Disney has yet to announce when it’s coming out in the Philippines. – Rappler.com
