Cats is one of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s most iconic musicals, so it was only a matter of time before Hollywood took a stab at bringing it to life.
We’ve been gifted with a sneak peek at the result of their efforts in the first trailer for the film starring Taylor Swift, James Corden, Jennifer Hudson, Dame Judy Dench, Sir Ian McKellen, and Idris Elba, amongst others.
If you have never seen the musical, The Guardian sums up the plot as “the story of a tribe of cats, called the Jellicles, that face a series of difficult life-altering decisions one fateful night”.
