The“collusion” between the director, screenwriter, actors, and studio that made “Cruella” a punk movie

Director of “I, Tonya” x Screenwriter of “On Her Majesty’s Favorite”

Disney has been working on a project to adapt its own content into live-action for over 10 years. These include ` `Alice in Wonderland '' (10), `` Maleficent '' (14), ` `The Jungle Book '' (16), `` Beauty and the Beast '' (17), `` Aladdin '' (19), and `` Mulan '' (2020). In addition, we are continuing to make feature films of Disneyland attractions, such as the " Pirates of the Caribbean " series and " Jungle Cruise " (scheduled to be released on July 30, 2021). There were also plans to make a film version of ``20,000 Leagues Under the Sea'' directed by David Fincher.

This time, ``Cruella'' is part of such a project, and there are many more in the pipeline, from `` The Little Mermaid '' to the live-action adaptation of `` Lilo & Stitch .'' In terms of movie adaptations of Disney villains, this work can be said to be a work in the lineage of ``Maleficent.''

These Disney live-action works have several common characteristics. One is to hire a well-known director. “Alice in Wonderland” and “ Dumbo ” (2019) were directed by Tim Burton, “ Cinderella ” (2015) was directed by Kenneth Branagh, “Aladdin” was directed by Guy Ritchie, “The Jungle Book” and “ The Lion King ” ( 19) is Jon Favreau, `` Pooh and I Grown Up '' (18) is `` Quantum of Solace'' (2008 ) and `` World War Z '' (13) Marc Forster. ``Beauty and the Beast'' was written by Bill Condon, who also wrote the screenplay for `` Chicago '' (2002).

Cruella, who Lars and the Real Girl '' (2007) and `` I, Tonya '' (2017), was cast in ``Cruella.'' Similarly, Disney's MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) tends to select up-and-coming directors who have emerged from independent works, but there seems to be a clear separation between them.

In the Disney live-action adaptation, famous creators are appointed not only as the director but also as each staff member. For example, for ``Aladdin,'' they invited Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the lyricist/composer duo who had participated in `` The Greatest Showman '' (17) and `` La La Land '' (16).・Menken also wrote a new song). For ``Beauty and the Beast,'' Stephen Chbosky, the original author and director of `` The Wallflower '' (2012) and the director of `` Wonder in the Sun '' (17), participated in the script.

"Cruella" will be played by Tony McNamara of " On Her Majesty's Favorite " (18) and Netflix's "Isn't It Romantic?" Dana Fox (2019) participated in the script, and when you see this arrangement, you can probably get an idea of ​​the overall color of the work.

In addition to ``On Her Majesty's Favourite'', Emma Stone also wrote ``La La Land'' and ` `Birdman' ' (14), all while crawling on the ground and licking the bitter acid. He has powerfully played characters that include the elements of a struggling "dirty role." McNamara and Foxx joined the team, and Gillespie, director of ``I, Tonya,'' an energetic depiction of the life of a real-life skater played by Margot Robbie, took over the megaphone, and was asked to star, write, and direct. A trio of creators with all their strengths will emerge. In other words, it is a thrilling work in which an ``incomprehensible'' woman challenges adversity and inequality.

The film begins with the moment Cruella/Estella is born, followed by a shocking monologue that says, "Oh no, do we start here?" Furthermore, in the scene where Estella starts going to school, there is a monologue that says, ``It's still 1964. The era of women is a little further away.'' These tastes and productions are truly ``I, Tonya'' and ``Her Majesty's Favorite.'' Naturally, it goes perfectly with Emma Stone's performance. The color of this film, which uses an eccentric method to confront unkind reality, perfectly matches the pedigree of the works that the lead actor, writer, and director have created thus far.

Emma Stone's project took four years to realize
