Disney announced recently that another slew of their beloved animated movies will be adapted into live-action feature films. Emma Watson’s Beauty and the Beast, a Mary Poppins reboot with Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda and a Tinker Bell project starring Reese Witherspoon are already in the works. Best of all, Disney just revealed that a live-action origin story for Cruella de Vil (appropriately titled Cruella) will star Emma Stone in the title role.
While most of the characters Stone plays are witty and charming, we have a feeling that this project will also have wonderful comedic elements, given the outlandishly horrible personality we saw from Cruella in 101 Dalmatians.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film will focus predominantly on the background of the character, which should help us understand how she became such an infamous monster.
Though we’ll have to wait another three years before we see the final product in theaters, we are positive Stone will do a great job transforming into this wicked character on screen.
