Emma Stone returns to spectacular outfits and nefarious deeds, officially closing the deal to participate in the film “Cruella 2“.
The first news about the development of the sequel appeared in early June, just a few weeks after the premiere of the first part, which is a kind of prequel to the classic Disney cartoon “101 dalmatians“. At that time it was known that the director Craig Gillespie and screenwriter Tony McNamara plan to return to work on a sequel, but Stone has yet to be signed.
“While the media space has undergone significant changes for all distributors, their creative partners cannot stand aside, incurring a disproportionate share of the loss without potential benefits.
This agreement demonstrates that a fair development path is possible that protects artists and balances the interests of the studios with their talents. We are proud to work with Emma and Disney and appreciate the company’s willingness to recognize its contribution as a creative partner. We hope this will open the door for more creative people to participate in the development of new platforms, ”said Patrick Whitesell, executive chairman of Endeavor.
The new agreement was concluded after Scarlett Johansson sued Disney over the company’s decision to release “Black Widow“simultaneously in cinemas and on streaming service Disney +, in connection with which the actress missed a decent amount of money. It was assumed that Stone will also make a similar claim, but apparently, both parties were able to agree.
In Cruella, Emma Stone not only starred but also executive produced. As a result of the rental in the USA, the tape earned over $ 85 million, and worldwide fees have crossed the mark in $ 220 million… As in the case of “Black Widow”, the film was released on a hybrid model.
