I’ve got a great fan-made trailer here that reimagines Disney’s Cruella as a prequel film for Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker. Lots of fans have compared the Cruella trailer to Joker, and this trailer imagines a film that is about Arthur Fleck’s mom.
The video was created by comedian Matthew Highton and I’m sure many of you will get a kick out of it. Check it out and tell us what you think!
Turns out if you overlay the sound from the Joker trailer onto the Cruella one it fits so well you get a prequel film about Joker’s mother. pic.twitter.com/C70lHoHQvd

Cruella is “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. 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 movie was directed by Craig Gillespie (Mr. Woodcock, Lars and the Real Girl, Fright Night, Million Dollar Arm, The Finest Hours, and I Tonya), and the rest of the cast includes Emma Thompson, Mark Strong, Paul Walter Hauser, Emily Beecham, Joel Fry, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, and John McCrea.
Cruella will be released in theaters on May 28th, 2021.
