Did Judi Dench get a haircut? Jennifer Hudson must be working with a new stylist. And what’s that glow Idris Elba is giving off?
What is it about these beloved performers that looks so… different?
Ahh now we see it! They’re cats.

How about we take this to the next level?

The trailer for the much-anticipated cinematic take on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s classic 1981 Broadway musical Cats is here, and it’s going to be quite the production.
With star talent that also includes Taylor Swift, James Corden, Ian McKellen, Rebel Wilson and Jason Derulo, this film is sure to be one of the holiday season’s most-discussed.
Fancy feast your eyes on this brave new world:
Cats premieres in theaters on December 20.

Terrible musical. Can’t imagine a film will be any better.

Ummm…. Am I the only one who found that creepy as heck! I truly regret watching that before bed!

This is the worst musical in the history of Broadway. Why would they make it into a movie?
Toofie
Good songs but trying to translate it to a live action musical is not working. It looks nightmarish.

And I never want to see anything like it again.

Would have been better if it just animated

Me: I love it! A little skeptical about them putting Taylor Swift in the movie but I’m sure she’ll be fine. I hope the movie has just as much dancing as the musical.

Gosh, I just watched the trailer and hated it.
Then I realized that James Corden was in it, and now I hate it with all the intensity of a thousand white-hot suns.

At first it was clever on the first personal cassett players. Then it was okay but this is a roaring ugly POS. Just a photo shop vanity junk shit.
Burn it quick.

seems i’ll be the only one here (and proud of it!) to say i’ve seen the show 6 times on stage and it’s one of the best shows of all time. from score to dancing one of the absolute best. can’t wait to see the movie.

I can’t wait to see it!!! It looks like it’s going to be amazing

I love the stage production. I have seen it more times than I can remember. I will definitely see this movie. I will reserve all judgment until then.

I love this show. We shall see how the movie is in Dec

somehow this does not make the idea of watching pussies prance around for two hours any more enticing to me.

Jessica Christ this is awful. Merely hearing the irritating names of the characters, such as Mr Mistoffelees, Bustopher Jones and Macavity, makes me want to cough up a friggin’ fur ball. Like most Lloyd Webber codswallop productions, it has one song of merit – what’s it called again?

What a letdown vocally the “Finale: The Ad-Dressing of Cats” will be. I’m sure Judi Dench will act the shit outta Old Deuteronomy. But is she also gonna sing? That ending needs to be so huge and celebratory, with a grand booming voice that sends chills down your spine!
