Cruella 2021

 In the 1970s in London, young fashion designer Estella de Ville became obsessed with dog skins, especially Dalmatians, until she eventually became a ruthless and terrifying legend like Cruella.

The feature film about Cruella was announced in 2011.  Andrew Gunn was hired to produce the film with Glenn Close, who previously played the eponymous heroine in the 1996 film adaptation, served as executive producer,  and Kelly Marcel revised the script, which was originally written by Alain Brooch McKenna. On January 6, 2016, Emma Stone was hired to play the eponymous role of Cruella de Ville. In August 2016, Jazz Butterworth was hired to rewrite the previous draft of the script.  In November 2016, it was reported that Disney had hired Alex Timbers to direct the feature adaptation, while Mark Platt joined the film as a producer.  However, in December 2018, it was revealed that Timbers had left the film due to planning conflicts, and instead, Craig Gillespie would direct the film, replacing Timbers.

In May 2019, Emma Thompson joined the cast to play the Baroness, described as "an antagonist of Cruella, who is considered key in her transformation into the villain we know today." Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, Julianne Moore, and Demi Moore were also considering the role, while Dev Patel was considered the role of Roger Deerley.  That same month, Tony McNamara and Dana Fox were hired to write the latest version of the script.  Joel Fry and Paul Walter Hauser were added in the following months as Jasper and Horace.
