We’re not quite sure what to make of this just yet.
Plot’s it all about?
Cats is one of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s biggest and best musicals, but as Jersey Boys should have taught us, not every stage classic need to make the switch to the big screen.
That being said, with the man who directed Les Mis behind the camera, and an extremely star-studded cast, this could be the next big musical to deliver.
The plot is both a simple and well-known one – a tribe of cats must decide yearly which one will ascend to the Heaviside Layer and come back to a new life.
The trailer debuted at this year’s Cinema Con, with the team behind it using a brand new “digital fur technology to create the most perfect covering of fur.”
If we’re being perfectly honest, and we mean no disrespect to the hours of effort that undoubtedly went into developing this technology, it’s just a little bit terrifying if you ask us.
Maybe that’s just us though…
Directed by: Tom Hooper (King’s Speech, Les Mis)
Starring: Jennifer Hudson, Taylor Swift, Idris Elba, Ian McKellen, Judi Dench, James Corden, Rebel Wilson and Jason Derulo.
Naturally, the trailer is getting the meme treatment online, but we’ll be good and just show you the trailer instead:
Enjoy!
