Disney released a brand new TV spot for the upcoming live-action film, Cruella, starring Oscar winner Emma Stone (La La Land) in the title role. The video was accompanied by three new photos from the film, which is set to premiere on Friday, May 28, 2021.
The one-minute sneak peek video is set to “These Boots are Made for Walking” and reveals more about Cruella de Vil’s desire to be a designer.
In addition to Emma Stone, Cruella stars two-time Oscar winner Emma Thompson (Howards End, Sense & Sensibility). Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya) directs from a screenplay by Dana Fox and Tony McNamara, with story by Aline Brosh McKenna, Kelly Marcel, and Steve Zissis.
Andrew Gunn (Freaky Friday), Marc Platt (Mary Poppins Returns), and Kristin Burr (Christopher Robin) produced, with Emma Stone, Michelle Wright, Jared LeBoff, and Glenn Close serving as executive producers. Two-time Oscar winner Jenny Beavan (Mad Max: Fury Road, A Room with a View) designed the costumes.
Emma Stone stars in Disney’s Cruella, an all-new live-action feature film about the rebellious early days of one of cinemas most notorious – and notoriously fashionable – villains, the legendary Cruella de Vil. Cruella, which is set in 1970s London amidst the punk rock revolution, follows a young grifter named Estella, a clever and creative girl determined to make a name for herself with her designs. She befriends a pair of young thieves who appreciate her appetite for mischief, and together they are able to build a life for themselves on the London streets.
One day, Estella’s flair for fashion catches the eye of the Baroness von Hellman, a fashion legend who is devastatingly chic and terrifyingly haute, played by Emma Thompson. But their relationship sets in motion a course of events and revelations that will cause Estella to embrace her wicked side and become the raucous, fashionable and revenge-bent Cruella.

The new Zack Snyder’s Justice League trailer that just dropped days before the premiere on HBO Max emphasizes that now is the time for heroes to unite. That union of superpowers fuels the new two-and-a-half minute action-packed trailer that is completely void of any Joss Whedon influence and is pure Zack Snyder.
The new director’s cut premieres on HBO Max on March 18, 2021.
The cast includes Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, and Ray Fisher as Cyborg.

The task proves more difficult than Bruce imagined, as each of the recruits must face the demons of their own pasts to transcend that which has held them back, allowing them to come together, finally forming an unprecedented league of heroes.
Now united, Batman (Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gadot), Aquaman (Momoa), Cyborg (Fisher), and The Flash (Miller) may be too late to save the planet from Steppenwolf, DeSaad, and Darkseid and their dreadful intentions.

Things are about to get even crazier – if that’s possible – on The CW’s Riverdale season five when episode eight arrives on March 17, 2021. Episode eight – “Lock & Key” – was directed by Rachel Talalay from a script by Arabella Anderson.

“Chapter Eighty-Four: Lock & Key” Plot: THE QUEEN OF CHAOS STRIKES AGAIN — A big announcement forces everyone to take stock of their current lives. Cheryl (Petsch) sets a risky plan in motion after learning some surprising news about Toni (Morgan). Jughead (Sprouse) tries to make sense of a strange encounter he had. Kevin (Cott) and Fangs (Drew Ray Tanner) make a big decision about their future together.
Season 5 Description, Courtesy of The CW:
The fourth season of Riverdale began with a funeral and tribute to Archie’s late father, the beloved Fred Andrews (Luke Perry). Throughout the season, Archie (KJ Apa) tried to live up to his father’s memory by mentoring youths at his Community Center with the help of his pals Reggie and Munroe Moore. But the shadow of that tragedy loomed over Archie—and only darkened when Fred’s brother Frank arrived, bringing unforeseen complications with him, much to the chagrin of Archie’s mother (Molly Ringwald).
Meanwhile, after Betty saved her mom and sister from the Farm cult, she joined her brother Charles’s Junior F.B.I. Training Program. Veronica found herself locked in a season-long battle with her father Hiram and half-sister Hermosa over her burgeoning maple rum business. And, at the urging on FP, Jughead enrolled in a new school, Stonewall Prep, only to be caught up in a mystery that involved his grandfather, the secret author of a series of teen detective novels called “The Baxter Brothers.” His classmates turned out to be killers—and it was up to Betty and Jughead (pretending to be dead) to solve the murder of…Jughead Jones!
At Thistlehouse, Cheryl was trapped in a gothic nightmare, fighting her demons, literal and metaphoric, with the loving support of her girlfriend Toni. She finally put her brother Jason to rest while maintaining her control over the Vixens as resident HBIC against Principal Honey (Kerr Smith). Kevin got dragged into an illicit tickle scheme, but still found time to put on a Variety Show with hit songs from Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
And throughout the season, disturbing unmarked videotapes kept appearing on our characters’ doorsteps, ensuring that there would be one more mystery to solve.
Season five of Riverdale will begin with our characters’ final days as students at Riverdale High. From an epic Senior Prom to a bittersweet Graduation, there are a lot of emotional moments and goodbyes yet to come — with some couples breaking up, as everyone goes their separate ways to college — or elsewhere. Then, we will redock with our gang as young adults, all returning to Riverdale to escape their troubled pasts. And life — and romance — will only be more complicated now that they’re in their twenties…

Spirit and Lucky Prescott (Isabela Merced) in DreamWorks Animation’s ‘Spirit Untamed,’ directed by Elaine Bogan.
The just-released video from DreamWorks Animation’s upcoming family-friendly film Spirit Untamed features a new version of Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams.” The animated adventure was directed by Elaine Bogan (Netflix and DreamWorks Animation Television’s Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia) and is targeting a June 4, 2021 release in theaters.
The voice cast includes Isabela Merced (Dora and the Lost City of Gold), Julianne Moore (The Glorias), Jake Gyllenhaal (Nightcrawler), and Marsai Martin (Little). Mckenna Grace (Captain Marvel), Walton Goggins (Justified), Andre Braugher (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), and Eiza González (Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw) also lend their voices to Spirit Untamed.
The film is a continuation of the Spirit franchise that kicked off with Spirit: Stallion of Cimarron released theatrically in 2002. Ennio Torresan co-directs and Karen Foster serves as a producer. Amie Doherty (DreamWorks Animation’s Marooned) composed the score.
The Plot, Courtesy of DreamWorks Animation:
An epic adventure about a headstrong girl longing for a place to belong who discovers a kindred spirit when her life intersects with a wild horse, Spirit Untamed is the next chapter in the beloved story from DreamWorks Animation.
Lucky Prescott (Merced) never really knew her late mother, Milagro Navarro (González), a fearless horse-riding stunt performer from Miradero, a small town on the edge of the wide-open frontier.
Like her mother, Lucky isn’t exactly a fan of rules and restrictions, which has caused her Aunt Cora (Moore) no small amount of worry. Lucky has grown up in an East Coast city under Cora’s watchful eye, but when Lucky presses her own luck with one too many risky escapades, Cora picks up stakes and moves them both back with Lucky’s father, Jim (Gyllenhaal), in Miradero.
Lucky is decidedly unimpressed with the sleepy little town. She has a change of heart when she meets Spirit, a wild Mustang who shares her independent streak, and befriends two local horseback riders, Abigail Stone (Grace) and Pru Granger (Martin). Pru’s father, stable owner Al Granger (Braugher), is the best friend of Lucky’s father.
When a heartless horse wrangler (Goggins) and his team plan to capture Spirit and his herd and auction them off to a life of captivity and hard labor, Lucky enlists her new friends and bravely embarks on the adventure of a lifetime to rescue the horse who has given her freedom and a sense of purpose, and has helped Lucky discover a connection to her mother’s legacy and to her Mexican heritage that she never expected.
