According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mozart in the Jungle co-creator and accomplished theater director Alex Timbers is in negotiations to direct the live-action Cruella De Vil movie for Disney.
One such project is Cruella, a live-action origin story for the 101 Dalmatians villain Cruella De Vil.
Outside of his Broadaway experience, Alex Timbers created Amazon’s Mozart in the Jungle series with Roman Coppola and Jason Schwartzman.
Cruella De Vil made her debut in the animated version of 101 Dalmatians back in 1961, but Glenn Close did play her in the 1996 live-action 101 Dalmations.
