Well, Disney’s upcoming 101 Dalmatians spin-off, Cruella - based on the infamous villain, Cruella de Vil - could be even raunchier as they’ve employed Fifty Shades of Grey alumni Kelly Marcel to write the screenplay, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Marcel previously penned Saving Mr Banks and numerous episodes of the TV-show Terra Nova, along with adapting Fifty Shades for the big screen.

The live-action flick - one of many Disney have in production, others including Jungle Book, Alice Through the Looking Glass and Beauty and the Beast - has been fast-tracked by the company, with a release date of 17 December 2017.

This will not be the first time Cruella has been featured in a live-action film, Glen Close having played the character in both 1996’s 101 Dalmatians and 2000’s 102 Dalmatians.

Other films to get the live-action treatment include Dumbo, with Tim Burton on to direct, Tink, a story about Tinkerbell with Reese Witherspoon attached, a sequel to Maleficient, an adaptation of Mulan and Beauty and the Beast.
