I really don't understand how Cruella got past the initial board meeting. Surely someone must have said, "Hey, her thing is killing and skinning puppies, are you sure we should make a movie with her as the protagonist??"

I think it went as far as “this seems like it’d do well for a tshirt at Hot Topic, good enough”. Which is weird, since is Hot Topic even still around?

Didn't we let that genie out of the bottle when we started making wildly successful movies about Maleficent, the Joker, and Harley Quinn? I'm not a comic book guy but I think Joker has raped people.

I think its potentially interesting to see how they reconcile the end of Cruella with the character as she appears in the 1961 101 Dalmations. Before her introduction in the original film, Anita admonishes Roger for mocking Cruella—insisting she’s more of a tortured eccentric than a monster. Anita and Cruella were friends/acquaintances at some point in the past, which suggests Cruella wasn’t always so hosed up. I guess that’s the needle they’re trying to thread.

Didn't recognize Reece Shearsmith until I read his name. Looks fun. Sidenote, is anyone else having Youtube videos kind of freeze for a few seconds, and have major pixely glitchy blocks on trailers like this, where busy scenes get followed by black screens? I'm seeing it on anything I watch fullscreen over the past two weeks, and it feels like YT is lumping me in with some test of a lovely new video compression.

This'll be the fourth or fifth Wheatley movie that's about a bad trip in the woods, and I think that's neat.

Someone better than me at that could rewatch the original movie and see if Cruella is queer-coded.

I have no idea where I heard that... I swore I heard it's a reboot but taking place in the 70s.  Maybe I just assumed so after the art for everything. E: Ah, it was one of the producers saying it was LIKE a 70s movie. "Peter Safran called The Suicide Squad a "gritty 1970s war movie combined with the brilliance of James Gunn's characters and comedy","

That trailer was ok. I might watch this film. I normally don’t really care for super hero films, and hate the DC films.... so I was ready to go back to not caring. But the Justice League recut was actually not bad* Part of me wants this James Gunn suicide Squad Film to be ALOT better than every DC film, just because I really don’t like Snyder, and I just hated the other suicide squad. That trailer delivers. Also I saw the poster a couple days ago and thought “ohh is this going to be like a 70’s grind house Suicide Squad film? I’m down for that” *except that epilogue.

Movie looks great, glad Marvel and DC get to share Gunn. I never would have guessed this would be the career path for the guy who wrote Tromeo & Juliet and made Slither.
