Cats Trailer

Tom Hooper‘s Cats (2019) movie trailer has been released by Universal Pictures and stars Francesca Hayward, Idris Elba, Jennifer Hudson, Taylor Swift, and Jason Derulo.

Plot Synopsis

Cat‘s plot synopsis: inspired by T. S. Eliot‘s collection of poems, “Oscar-winning director Tom Hooper transforms Andrew Lloyd Webber’s record-shattering stage musical into a breakthrough cinematic event.

Featuring Lloyd Webber’s iconic music and a world-class cast of dancers under the guidance of Tony-winning choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler (Hamilton, In the Heights), the film reimagines the musical for a new generation with spectacular production design, state-of-the-art technology, and dance styles ranging from ballet to contemporary, hip-hop to jazz, street to tap.”

Cast

Cats also stars Judi Dench, Ian McKellen, Rebel Wilson, James Corden.

Thoughts

This looks far better than I was expecting, with my initial thoughts being as I watched the trailer: “Who’s playing the lead cat? I don’t recognize her.” That actress is Francesca Hayward, a Royal Ballet dancer.
