I thought 'Estelle' was a classmate of Roger? That sypnosis doesn't really seem to match up with what the author wrote regarding the character. But then the last time i read the book was far too many years ago in high school

Mark Strong talks about the film:
Collider wrote: You’re also in Cruella, which we know is the origin story of the Disney villain Cruella de Vil. Without spoilers, what’s it like to be a part of something like that, where you have a hand in telling the story of such a famous character?

STRONG: Well, I had a great time. Craig Gillespie, who directed it, I was a big fan of. I loved I, Tonya and I loved Lars and the Real Girl, the films that he made before I got to know him. Just liking the stuff he’d made meant that we wanted to work together, and he asked me to play this part in Cruella. It was fantastic being on set. It’s such a massive production. There are huge fashion and ballroom sequences in it, which are just so impressive. I got to be on set during those days and spend most of my time with the two Emmas – Emma Stone and Emma Thompson. It was just great being able to shoot the breeze with those guys during the downtime, and then play with them, telling this fantastical story that I think people are thoroughly going to enjoy, when the cameras were rolling.

I’m definitely excited and curious about the film. I’ve always been fascinated by that character, and I’m hoping that we’ll get to see the film at some point soon.

STRONG: What the film does, which is brilliant, is try to throw a light on where the Cruella that we think we know has come from. It’s a development story, as you see Cruella grow into the Cruella de Vil that we know and love to hate.
I hope so...

Looking more and more like Cruella and other redo's might go the Disney+ route. I don't mind Cruella being downgraded, but would be a shame for the others, notably Pinocchio.

As of now, this gets to stay in theaters. Now that's just crazy!

Well, at least it isn't frizzy.

As an aside, the original 1961 animated classic turns 60 today! :shock:

That even made the BBC history wrap up segment...even if they of all entities couldn’t spell "Dalmations"... :roll:

A look at Cruella's car. (love that track!) Although not far off, I prefer the design from "Once Upon a Time":

Like a fusion of the novel and the animated classic. The white rims, white wraparound, even a nice touch with the car hood ornament. "DEV IL" also looks good and not awkwardly placed like on the new one. (at least the back) When you compare the two the new one does look rather cheap!

Looks like an album cover, giving me Madonna vibes. Like how they circled the A. Anarchism!

That looks more like an 'A" which is also a pentagram.

So she's a witch now?

The A in May looks to have the same slash.

Or, it's the Anarchy in the UK "A", which is supposed to go with her "punk" outfit, and suggest that she's a Sid Vicious fan.
