The new trailer really showcases how Emma Stone os going to portray the crazed character and there is very much a hint of Batman's Joker spilling through.

We also get a good idea of Emma Thompson character, and she looks fantastic as Cruella's boss Baroness, thre is more to her than meets the eye.

The movie doesn't have long until its released and judging from this trailer we could have a good origins movie on our hands come May 28th.
