Cruella will show the origin story of the popular animated villain. It takes place in 1970s London, with Estella de Vil as a young fashion designer who becomes obsessed with dogs’ skins, especially Dalmatians. She eventually becomes a ruthless and terrifying legend who thinks it is a good idea to try to kill dozens of puppies to make a new outfit.

Craig Gillespie, who helmed Lars and the Real Girl, Fright Night, and I, Tonya, is directing the upcoming Disney movie. The screenplay is by Dana Fox and Tony McNamara, from a story by Aline Brosh McKenna, Kelly Marcel, and Steve Zissis.
