A new Cruella fan edit makes the film into a prequel for Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker. Comedian Matthew Highton had the bright idea to take the audio from Todd Phillips’ trailer and put it over the Disney footage. The result is a strange prequel film about Arthur Fleck’s mom before she was committed. Over the course of the Cruella trailer’s reveal, a bunch of commenters pointed out how the style of the trailer lent itself to Joker’s aesthetics really well. It was only going to be a matter of time before someone on the Internet did the deed. It’s actually kind of astonishing that Highton’s effort here hasn’t already begun sweeping around social media. It will probably end up resurfacing closer to the movie’s release. For now, fans of both movie can have a bit of a chuckle about the weird overlap between the two. You could probably guess that this is not what Disney had in mind when they unveiled their 101 Dalmatians origin story project. But, you can always count on the Internet to make it just a bit weirder.
Turns out if you overlay the sound from the Joker trailer onto the Cruella one it fits so well you get a prequel film about Joker’s mother. pic.twitter.com/C70lHoHQvd
