The art is pretty good in the whole thing. ![]() We end with Estella inching closer to truly becoming Cruella. We meet a character named Emilia who hires Estella to “be her muse” while in fashion school, though the relationship quickly disintegrated as Estella realizes Emilia doesn’t have much of her own vision. ![]() All the while she is grappling with her own inner Cruella and how much Estella wants to embrace this alter ego. We focus entirely on Estella’s life with Jasper and Horace as they hone their skills as petty thieves and she goes on her own journey of self-discovery about what fashion and image mean to her. While there are certainly elements of it thrown in there, it might be more rightly called a prequel to the movie. That being said, I don’t think I would call this an adaptation of the film. I will preface this by saying I haven’t watched the live-action film nor am I particularly fond of Cruella as a character. I recently read the manga adaptation of the live-action film Cruella by Hachi Ishie released by VIZ and it was… interesting. ![]() ![]() ![]() I can't speak for Leigh's workload but the overall impression I took away from this book was that it felt like it must have been a stressful distraction to write. ![]() Together they must find a way to forge a future in the darkness.

I know Richard Linklater was involved for a moment, Barry Levinson was involved, Larry Charles. ![]() What’s interesting is that Bob and Nick really didn’t know each other, but they had a splendid time working together, and when Bob wrapped The Company You Keep, he pulled A Walk in the Woods off the shelf and said, “ Nolte’s the perfect Stephen Katz.”Īlong the way, there were different screenwriters and directors involved with the picture. Then, Bob began directing his picture The Company You Keep, and Bob cast Nick Nolte in a supporting role, and they had a couple of scenes together. But Paul Newman grew ill, and after he passed away, Redford shelved the project - Bob told me that he couldn’t imagine doing it with anyone other than Newman, so the project sat dormant for some time.

Wild animals roam the streets, but mankind is still the biggest threat to a woman alone in the ruins of a world reclaimed by nature. It shouldn’t work and yet it wholeheartedly does. Whilst there are other characters that do feature throughout the book, it’s a strong writer who can ensure that a reader is kept engaged when most of the novel hinges on just the interactions of two characters. I initially found the story a little slow to flourish, but in the end i really enjoyed this exploration of an untamed and vicious New York City, where animal predators are the new top dog and humans struggle for survival.Īll kudos to the author for centering much of the books plot, action and dialogue on just the two main characters Lynn and Dani, plus their dog Skeever.
