EMMA STONE IS
DISNEY'S NEW 'CRUELLA DE VIL'?
I'm sure you've already heard it by now since it's been the movie news of the day: Emma Stone will lead Disney's live action CRUELLA movie! She will play the legendary villain in the new story on the famous Cruella De Vil from 101 DALMATIANS who was previously played by Glenn Close which means this rendition would see her much younger, kinda like Angelina Jolie was in MALEFICENT which means it will be an origin story!
As I've informed you before, beside MALEFICENT, SNOWWHITE and
CINDERELLA which already have their new versions, JUNGLE BOOK, DUMBO, MULAN and TINKERBELL are also getting new live action versions. PETE'S DRAGON and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST are already done.
'THE CROWN' EPIC SERIES
GETS FIRST LAVISH TRAILER
But your main treat for today is the lavish and expensively looking (should be, since the budget is astonishing 100$ million) first trailer for Netflix new ten part historical series THE CROWN depicting the early
years of British queen Elizabeth II (Claire Foy) and her ascension on the throne. As you can see from the trailer the big focus will be on her
marriage to war commander Philip Mountbatten - played by Matt Smith. Set in the aftermath of World War II, the series will also describe her disagreements with Winston Churchill (John Lithgow).
The series creator is Peter Morgan who won an Oscar for THE QUEEN with Helen Mirren. Brilliant Stephen Daldry (THE READER, BILLY ELLIOTT) is directing.

Looking forward to "The Crown." I was a bit doubtful about John Lithgow as Churchill but he seems to do okay.
ReplyDeletehe seems to be the only pleasant actor in the series LOL
DeleteI didn't think he was big enough to play a chubby man like Churchill
Deletehe is very tall, probably not that fat
DeleteLooks like they padded him out with some special effects.
Deletelike I'm padded with special effects :)
DeleteEmma Stone could pull it off.... ;)
ReplyDeleteshe does have evil eyes
DeleteWhat comments can't you see btw?
DeleteI see everything :) Well, not what you presume she should pull off, but lets leave it that way
DeleteIt was just getting interesting.
Deletetwists and plots
DeleteWill there be live puppies?
ReplyDeletewell, there simply must be
DeleteWhat's with all the Disney remakes. Ah, money...
ReplyDeleteMatt Smith as Prince Phillip. Interesting.
I wonder what will they do when they remake all the remakes?
DeleteI hope they make Cruella likable like they did with Maleficent. However, you can't really like someone who wants to wear puppies as a fashion accessory. We'll see how they formulate the story.
ReplyDeleteWait, Maleficent was likeable? :) How can Angelina be likeable in any way? :)
DeleteIt was a really cute movie, even if you don't like Angelina. They turned it into a whole new, feel good story. One of my favorites they've remade so far.
DeleteHow can it be feelgood, the sweetest of sisters, when they were whipping her with chains? It was good in first half an hour and then turned into torture porn horror, leaving me shaking from fright in the corner of my imperial chambers.
DeleteThe Crown looks crazy epic. Emma can do it! I believe in her.
ReplyDeletethey really did not spare any money
DeleteI don't know why, but I can totally see Emma in that role! I know she's going to blow it away.
ReplyDeleteshe has the eyes for it
DeleteI agree with Jaclyn Emma looks as if she was born for this role. I did like her a lot In The Birdman!
ReplyDeletenever seen that one!
DeleteInteresting casting choice for Cruella. Emma Stone is always so fun to watch.
ReplyDeletenot that a dog skinning lady is any fun :)
DeleteI loveee Emma Stone and it's been a while I haven't enjoyed here acting :)..I guess Cruella will be great..
ReplyDeletecould be, could be
DeleteNice to see Matt Smith doing something after Dr. Who.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be a trend to take Disney villains and cast them in a new light. Should be interesting to see how Emma does as Cruella.
yes, and I'm not sure I like the trend, because it makes everything relative and inspires kids to love villains
