Disney is busy working its way through just about every classic animated movie it’s ever made in order to turn them live-action. 101 Dalmatians has already had that treatment back in the 1990s with Glenn Close as Cruella de Vil. Now though the House Of Mouse is having another go, this time with an origin story, to let us now how the fur obsessed villainess got to be the way she is..

Now the movie may have found its lead, as Variety reports that Emma Stone is in talks for the movie, which is currently going by the simple title, Cruella de Vil.

Not too much more is known about the movie, although it will be interesting to see with Cruella was always evil, or whether this will be a Maleficent-like tale that will show her to be misunderstood. Aline Brosh McKenna, who wrote Cinderella and contributed to Maleficent, is writing the script.

Disney is currently looking for a director, with the hope the movie can go into production before the end of the year.
