The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed a 2016 rumor that Emma Stone will indeed play a young Cruella de Vil in a live-action origin story of 101 Dalmatians.
The movie, which is to be titled “Cruella,” will be set in the early 80s and sport a “punk vibe.”
Disney is rumored to be in talks with “I,Tonya” director Craig Gillespie for the film after Alex Timbers had to back out because of Broadway commitments.
