Cats fans, get excited.
, an adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's blockbuster musical. If you're not familiar with the show, here are the basics: it's a musical about cats based on a series of poems about cats; it has very little plot; it made so much money on Broadway; it's where the song "Memory" comes from. Now you are all caught up and we can talk about the movie.
. Taylor Swift is in the movie. Idris Elba is in the movie. Jennifer Hudson, Judie Dench and Jason "Jason Derulo" Derulo are in the movie. Rebel Goddamn Wilson is in the movie and oh, you bet your tail James Corden is in the movie. And thanks to a recently-released behind-the-scenes teaser trailer, we've gotten a glimpse of the moviemaking process, as well as a number of passionate speeches about how important the arts are to artists.
In the video, we see glimpses of Andy Blankenbuehler's choreography, which seems to combine jazz, ballet, tap and, well, being a cat. We hear about how much this show has meant to Judi Dench , who was supposed to be in the West End stage version before an injury made it impossible. And we get a look at the impressive larger-than-life sets that will let the audience view the world from a pet's perspective.
In the stage production, actors wear fur-lined bodysuits and makeup to suggest felinity, but as Corden explains, this new version will use technology to make the cast even more animalistic: "Tom's pairing [the sets] with a kind of level of technology which I don't think has ever been used before...these are people but they're cats and this is kind of blowing my mind.
