So, uh, regarding that Cats movie, it says that Tom Hooper is the director. Are we sure they didn't mistakenly unearth some horrific, long lost masterpiece by the late Tobe Hooper instead?

I wish Rebel Wilson would stop taking comedy foil roles. She is talented. Even now playing a cat she is allowing herself to be a figure to be goofed on.

I'm assuming everyone will be CATS-ifying their avatars come this holiday season.

I create the teaser thread knowing the reactions before and after will be great to see,

But I wasn't expecting this.

This comes out the same day as Star Wars Episode IX... now I'm questioning which one to watch first. And which will be entertaining, Star Wars for the right reasons, or Cats for the wrong ones.

Why couldn't this be the visual format they went with for the Lion King remake.

After watching that trailer twice, I'm kinda liking this. It is certainly bold and it's nice to see a film musical that tries in no way hide its Broadway roots. I also really liked Hooper's Les Miserables.

Also I just realized Ray Winstone is in this. Just the thought of Ray Winstone singing in a CGI cat suit is enough to justify the existence of this film for me.

What the fuck, if it isn't CGI then what is it?!

Witchcraft?? Because it sure looks like it.
Some of the behind the scenes stuff from a while back, had Idris Elba just wearing a green leotard/catsuit....so it looks like it's their genuine performances but rather than just make some fur suits, make-up and practical effects...they decided to put CGI fur on them...which is why this looks odder than it needed to.

They should have had actual costumes and make-up and just used CGI for things like tails and whiskers.

There's so much wrong with this that you can't just point to one thing and be like, well if they fixed that it'd be okay...

I'm totally going to see this but just looks horrifying.
