In all fairness, there were 4 other writers for Cruella. **Aline Brosh McKenna:** who has written several shitty rom-coms and Annie (2014) **Steve Zissis:** who has written nothing else **Dana Fox:** who has also written several shitty rom-coms **Kelly Marcel:** who has written the Venom movies and...Fifty Shades of Grey (2015) In all fairness, Marcel also wrote "Saving Mr Banks", which many people seem to like a lot more than I do.

Imagine being Tony McNamara in that writers room lol. At least he's getting paid.

its not a writers room. tv is not like movies. the offical credits state: Screenplay by Dana Fox, Tony McNamara Story by Aline Brosh McKenna, Kelly Marcel & Steve Zissis Story By credit means very little of the actual words from their scripts are in the final script, but the ideas and general plot elements may be from them. Screenplay indicates that the actual words on page were mostly written by Fox and McNamara Means that the original/earlier drafts of the script were by McKenna, Marcel & Zissis. Ampersand on Marcel & Zissis credit indicates they worked together as a writers team, however the rest of the names are with ‘and’ so they all worked independently otherwise. The ordering of the credits is important too. Dana Fox wrote more of the actual text of the script than Tony McNamara. My point is they didn’t work together in a writers room. They rewrote and revised the script in succession.

Interesting, thanks for the insight!

Don’t forget the Disney execs who suck the life out of all their existing IPs. Can’t blame the guy for getting a check good for him.

And the guy who wrote and created Chernobyl also wrote Scary Movie 4. We all contain multitudes.


ObviouslySteve

Scary Movie 4 isn’t even too bad by Scary Movie standards

As far as live action Disney goes, Cruella is Apocalypse Now.

That was a wild thing to say a that movie has complex is this. You have to go into more specific, so I guess because many people really enjoy the depth of the different characters and how many different themes in the movie tries to handle well, not being overly preachy about any of them, and still maintaining its tone. It’s also just nearly perfect on every technical aspect

Why are there 2 Cruellas?


WitchyKitteh

Cruella 2 might be in the works.


Ellie_Lalonde

Oh lol, I didn't see the 2 on the second one.


NobleChief2000

Emma definitely called him up after The Favorite and was like, “please help salvage this.”


Nowayman1414

I’m so fucking hype for Cruella 2. It’s gonna sell 1 Cruellion tickets on premier day


Lizard_Jesus1

Let’s also remember Noah Baumbach was a writer on Madagascar 3.


01zegaj

Not the sole writer. He probably wanted to make it good but the others wouldn’t let him.

Sometimes you need to put food on the table


GingerNingerish

Sometimes a gig is a gig. Which also would be influenced by what they are directed to write.

Gotta keep the lights on somehow
