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”) from a screenplay by Dana Fox and Tony McNamara, story by Aline Brosh McKenna and
Kelly Marcel & Steve Zissis. It was produced by Andrew Gunn (“Freaky Friday”), Marc Platt (“Mary Poppins
Returns”) and Kristin Burr (“Christopher Robin”), with Emma Stone, Michelle Wright, Jared LeBoff and Glenn
Close serving as executive producers. Two-time Oscar®- winning costume designer Jenny Beavan (“Mad
Max: Fury Road,” “A Room with a View”) creates the dazzling and imaginative costumes, which take on a life
of their own.
