Son of a bitch, it's actually happening.
The King Without a Kingdom
She looks very much like what I imagined a live action Cruella would look like.
It's been 3000 years…
The Head of the Hydra
Fuck I thought this was still in development.

I was expecting someone older for Cruella. ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}
In fairness, this is her origin story.
Well, I'm excited for this.
Humans inferior. Ultron superior.
We really do live in a society
Bite my shiny metal ass.
I believe that goes without saying.
Not a cat
If this doesn't have enough Emma Stone hamming it up, I don't think I'd be too interested in this.
If I had a nickel for every film where Emma Stone falls off a balcony... I'd only have two nickels, but weird that there's two of them.

I'm hoping this turns out to be a proper Villain Protagonist movie. If it does, I'm pretty much down with it. Seems pretty cool.
Though it's obviously going for a largely original story a la Wicked, it'd be interesting if it incorporated a bit more of the book's stuff regarding Cruella than the animated movie did. Like - wasn't book Cruella married?

IIRC she was but the husband was unmentioned.
Here she appears single.
I used to think my life was a tragedy, but now I realize...it’s a fashion show.
The King Without a Kingdom
Instead of a condition where she laughs at inappropriate times, she gets sick whenever she sees dogs.

Part of the problem is that there has been already been a live action Cruella in like the 90s,so it's not anything new,if anything the comparisons to live action joker mean it could be viewed inferior knock off if the film does poorly
New theme music also a box
This is going to be so much fun.
Yeah is Disney pulling their own Joker?
Death is a companion. We should cherish Death as we cherish Life.
I swear people think Joker is the first move with a villain protagonist.
Friendly reminder that there is now a thread for the live-action Cruella movie here.
This is going to be so much fun.
It's less that and more of the presentation.
Rewatched Aladdin (2019) yesterday in the midst of all the talks about upcoming live-action remakes and why some don't work, and the debate about "Prince Ali" being much more vibrant and closer to the animated version at 1.25x playback speed stuck with me. How much of this is Guy Ritchie's direction, and how much of it is the inherent limitations of doing such an ambitious spectacle in live action? (The Broadway version is also slower than the animated one, although I can understand the need to do that for the stage for more vocal tralalas.)

Prince Ali in the live action and Broadway versions are slower because parades are slow in real life, and you can't really get around that when performing with actual actors and floats and such unless you use a lot of cuts.
The live action version covers this by shooting the whole thing in a vibrant set and showing us small parts of it bit by bit while the actual number proceeds slowly. The Broadway version covers this by redesigning the entire concept as a slow reveal of a bunch of colorful costumes while the actual number proceeds slowly.
Ultimately, I think it's significantly less of a "problem" than people made it out to be. People tend to mistake medium differences for "flaws."

The film version notably picks up the pacing and spectacle as it progressed. It was less "incompetently recreating the original" and more of a deliberate choice, they also had the bit with them waiting for the Sultan to give his approval to show deference to his authority. As seen with "Friend Like Me" they were more than capable of emulating the speed and pacing of the original when they wanted to.
Do you not know that in the service one must always choose the lesser of two weevils!
“ Ultimately, I think it's significantly less of a "problem" than people made it out to be. People tend to mistake medium differences for "flaws."”
Then maybe they shouldn’t have made the damn movies in the first place. What else can be said about them?
