Cruella: My Review on the Trailer
“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.
One thing that I expected was Cruella following the footsteps of the original and being a fleshed out villain without having a tragic backstory making her an anti hero like Maleficent (2014). She is portrayed as a villain which we all root for and somehow wish for her to be good at the same time. Emma Stone portrays the character to perfection. Only a few actors can portray animated characters to perfection and she is one of them.
As stated previously, Emma Stone portray Cruella. Emma Thompson would portray Cruella's mentor, Baroness. Other actors include Emily Beecham; Dev Patel; Paul Walter Hauser; Mark Strong; Kirby Howell-Basptise. The movie would be honoring the late Cameron Boyce who tragically passed away on the 07th of July, 2019. He died of epileptic related diseases. He previously played Cruella's son; Carlos on the descendants franchise. The release date of the movie would be on Camerons birthday.
