15 Live-Action Remakes Disney Are Currently Developing

9. Cruella

The Original: The character of Cruella De Vil, the villainess-fashionista, was originally born in Dodie Smithʼs 1956 book, The Hundred And One Dalmatians. The book was turned into a feature length animation with De Vil being voiced by Betty Lou Gerson, becoming an icon in the process. The Planned Remake: Screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna (Devil Wears Prada), who wrote the live-action Cinderella, has been hired by Disney to pen the script for Cruella. Not much is known about how Disney plan to tell the story of the villain, although this wonʼt be the first time the iconic antagonist has been portrayed in live-action on the big screen; back in 1996, Glenn Close memorably played the character (and will also be attached to this project as the executive producer).
