LOS ANGELES (AP) - Cruella De Vil will get another chance to catch those Dalmatians.

Disney plans a sequel to the 1996 hit "101 Dalmatians," to be called, you guessed it, "102 Dalmatians," Daily Variety reported Friday.

Disney has signed the writing team of Kristen Buckley and Brian Regan to pen the script, and hopes Glenn Close will return for an encore performance of the pup-nabbing villain Cruella De Vil.

Close says she wants to read the script before she decides whether she will again coif herself in Cruella's black and white locks, the trade paper reported.

It was not known whether Jeff Daniels will reprise the role of Roger, or if director Stephen Herek will return, but producer John Hughes said he planned to be back.

Close was nominated for a Golden Globe for her portrayal of Cruella.

The sequel will be Buckley and Regan's second high-profile Disney project. They are working on "Carmen Sandiego," an adaptation of the PBS children's show.
