Film and TV news alert!
Why fans of the supermodel Naomi Campbell and the fictional character Cruella de Vil have good reason to celebrate today?
Drink up after the jump…
‘American Horror Story Hotel‘ kicked off in spectacular fashion on Monday with help from its leading lady Lady Gaga.
Today, the supermodel Naomi Campbell gears up to introduce her character on the horror series by teaming up with its producers to release just a little of what’s to come before her arrival.
Check it out below…
Campbell plays a fashion magazine editor who makes her way to ‘Hotel’ but soon finds that doing so was a deadly mistake.
The ‘Empire’ beauty will be joined by the show’s long-running star Angela Bassett who will return as Ms. Ramona Royale, a film star romantically tied to Gaga’s character.
There’s more good news for screen fanatics.
The Hollywood Reporter reports:
Saving Mr. Banks screenwriter Kelly Marcel is attached to write Disney’s Cruella, based on the steely and well-appointed villainess Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians.
Marcel, who most recently adapted Fifty Shades of Grey, is working with Togetherness co-creatorSteve Zissis on the story.
Word that Disney is fast-tracking Cruella comes after the studio dated no fewer than four untitled live-action films drawing from its animated vault. That’s in addition to several movies that have already been dated: Jon Favreau‘s The Jungle Book (April 15, 2016), Tim Burton‘s sequel Alice Through the Looking Glass (May 27, 2016) and Bill Condon‘s Beauty and the Beast (March 17, 2017).
The puppy “loving” de Vil first appeared in Dodie Smith‘s 1956 novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians and was portrayed by Glenn Close in 1996’s 101 Dalmatians and the 2000 sequel, 102 Dalmatians.
A release date for the project is yet to be announced.
