Cruella: 5 Things We Learned From The Trailer from u/betteangus

Cruella is an upcoming crime comedy movie in Hollywood. It is based on the character Cruella de Vil, who was introduced in the novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians, which was written by Dodie Smith in the year 1956. The film is also based on an animated film, One Hundred and One Dalmatians by Walt Disney, that was released in the year 1961. The film Cruella is directed by Craig Gillespie. One of the most famous and talented actresses in Hollywood, Emma Stone plays the titular character Estella “Cruella” de Vil in the film along with being the producer of Cruella.

A new trailer of Cruella has been released and reveals various facts about the film. Emma Stone has played a marvelous character of a wicked woman in the film. She has played the role of Disney’s one of the most outrageous villains ever. However, there would be a sharper edge to the performance of Stone in this film. In this article, we have listed the five things that we got to know from the trailer.

It’s Her Origin Story

Cruella de Vil is one of the most clearly depicted origin stories of a Disney villain. She goes from a fabulous fashion designer to a woman who literally makes a coat out of Dalmatian puppies. These kinds of various unanswered questions have been running in the brains of the audience for several years. And, after watching the trailer and her explosive acts, the audience has become more restless to know the answers to these unanswered questions.

It Doesn’t Look Like A Standard Prequel

According to the trailer of the film Cruella, this film has gone from a psychopathic inner monologue to the real car chases and explosions. In this way, the film does not seem to be a Disney production, but it seems like a film out of DC Extended Universe instead. It means, either Cruella has been with Harley Quinn and Joker, or this film has a completely different approach to the character. However, it does not feel inappropriate for the bombastic character of Cruella.

It Could Still Follow The Original’s Time Period

The last live-action film, which was an adaptation, was released in the ’90s, and the original Walt Disney production took place in the 1960s. But, the trailer shows that it has been inspired by the two. However, if we have a look on Carnaby Street architecture and fashion, the story looks like a hanging setting. Instead of taking the modern route, the events before Elseworld’s 101 Dalmatians would be a better thought.

It’s A Crime Thriller

After watching the trailer of the film Cruella, one thing has been sure that the film would not be an ordinary-issue origin story. It would be a high crime thriller film. The trailer shows incredible car chases and bats in which a vault is appearing. One thing has been perfectly cleared from the trailer that both the plot and character of the film are sheer insane. Cruella has been shown as a very cruel and bad woman, but the reality will be revealed when the film will release that whether the reason for her cruelty is money, ambition, vengeance, or greed. To know these answers, you need to watch the film.

The Fashion Industry Will Play A Heavy Theme

Cruella De Vil is nothing without her fashion background and can be considered as a Dalmatian dog without spots. So it is obvious that Disney would keep this thing in mind and definitely introduce the designer theme in this remake of the ’90s. Cruella might have shown with a twist, but she is perfect in everything she does. This film might show her rise in the fabrics and threads industry.

This article concludes with some of the things that we have learned after watching the newly released trailer of the upcoming film Cruella.

Netflix has unveiled the trailer of Chadwick Boseman’s final film “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” also starring Viola Davis. The film boasting about its black talent is based on a play penned by August Wilson.

By the looks of the trailer, we can expect the late actor’s final film to be mind-blowing. “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” is a Netflix film based on a play penned by August Wilson in which Viola Davis will star as Ma Rainey, the iconic American singer from the 1920s.

Some iconic names have been involved in the behind the scenes work that include “Equalizer” star Denzel Washington as the producer. He will be working alongside Todd Black, and the stunning camera work has been done by George C. Wolfe.

The stunning all-black ensemble includes Academy Award winner Viola Davis in the titular role supported by Chadwick Boseman, Colman Domingo, Glynn Turman, Michael Potts, Dusan Brown, and Taylour Paige.

The official synopsis released by Netflix gives us an idea of what the film is going to be about. According to the synopsis, we will be taken back to the 1920s to a moment when the sensational singer Ma Rainey engages in a heated debate with a white producer regarding the creative control over her songs while her band awaits her arrival. Then, a talented drummer (played by Boseman) who has a liking for her daughter and desires to have a claim in the music industry stimulates a revelation of some moving stories that will change the dimension of the drummer and his friends’ lives forever.

August Wilson is a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, and his play “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” celebrated the courage and tenacity of the black artists who refused to bog down against the societal prejudice which was persistent in dictating their value.

The script for the screen adaptation has been penned by Ruben Santiago-Hudson.

If you have ever got a chance to see the trailer, you would know that Davis is almost unrecognizable in the avatar of Ma Rainey, and we almost feel like we are seeing the iconic singer herself. A report suggests that the role was not easy for her as she had to use an awful lot of vocal chops apart from truly transforming herself into that role, which also took an everyday effort.

Fans will definitely feel cathartic tears of joy when they get to see their beloved Black Panther for the last time in a film.

Since there is sentimental support towards the film and the fact that the Black Lives Matter movement has dominated the socio-political atmosphere of the United States, you might argue that “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” has a very good chance of sweeping Oscars next year.

The first trailer of the film has been unveiled, and it is available for view on Netflix’s YouTube channel.

Nia DaCosta’s bringing back cult horror flick Candyman in a spiritual sequel. It is all set to hit the theatres (hopefully they’ll open) on 25th September, a delayed-release due to the pandemic. As we saw from the trailer, there were hints of the old fable, and how a new entrant to the ‘Candy Factory’ results in the resurfacing of the neighborhood monster, who shall not be named. But there weren’t any hints as to what his look might be, and if Tony Todd, the original Candyman, will make an appearance or not.

The voice says, tell everyone!

The newest teaser trailer hints at an appearance by the old guy, as the eerie ending of the teaser is a voice saying, “Tell everyone.” If that isn’t scary enough, watch the brilliant clip that Mr. DaCosta uploaded earlier this month. It was a small clip showing shadow puppets and a voice-over from the movie. It is the perfect example of social commentary and cinema combining to make a strong statement, which is exactly the vision that the writer-director Bernard Rose who directed the original version of the movie, had in mind.

The reprisal is a welcome reminder

The original was based on a short story by Clive Barker, a renowned writer of the genre, and aimed to deal with issues of social injustice, the dark history of American Slavery, and how race continues to be an issue of contention. The reprisal of the original sentiments is a welcome reminder to the audience. The timing couldn’t be better. And Jordan Peele is bringing a piece of black history that saw beyond the spectrum of race and became a classic of the genre, widely accepted as one of the well-crafted horror movies.

Will the Candyman be back?

Tony Todd played the monster’s character in the first edition, as well as the two sequels that followed. Virginia Madsen’s character, Helen Lyle, was the female lead in all three. So, the question arises, will we see Todd again as the infamous lead? The teaser might hint at it, but it could be that only his voice remembering the legend exists because the memory of Candyman exists. The voice is calling for Anthony, Abul-Mateen’s character, to embody him. Or better yet, in a flashback from the scary past.

There’s also a painting we saw being painted in the first trailer, which was released in February. The painting we saw in this teaser, and it is Todd’s presence in the form of a painting. Candyman is a killer kept alive by those who believe in him. The legend goes that if you say his name five times while looking in the mirror, he appears. And this forms the basis of the horror story that follows. Like many other horror movies, what begins as a faint juvenile prank, turns into something much more gruesome and blood-struck. Tony Todd’s portrayal of this anti-hero sent chills down the spine of horror fans worldwide.

A marketing masterstroke!

The question around Tony Todd’s appearance is a masterstroke of marketing. With the fans already at the edge of their seats to find out if he reprises the iconic role since it was announced, teasing them, even more, is set to bring in huge ticket collections. The horror fandom is waiting with bated breath to find out the answers.
