I suspect it will be like the Jungle Book or the Ape films, motion captured actors that slightly resemble themselves but will look like cats, pretty much like most of the work Andy Serkis does.

I don't know why they've given Taylor Swift such a large dance role when she can barely dance herself. Thank God for Robbie Fairchild and Francesca Hayward!

I suspect the original actors and their movements will be barely recognised by the time motion capture has taken over. Perhaps some of these ballet dancers will be dong the actions for the un-dancers......so many possibilities but Cats is still a piece about dancers and not cats exactly.

Was Zizi Strallen ever confirmed for this? Because either she’s part of the cast or was just attending the cast Christmas party/spending time with them on set according to social media... Look at her Instagram story when she’s singing Happy Birthday and take a look at the book on the piano....

Robbie has said on Instagram the heavy dance sequences for the film were all filmed this week.

Is the plan still for this to be out by the end of the year? Seems ambitious!

Be warned: this will not be Cats like anyone knows it.
New story, new characters, DEFINITELY new staging.
I'm hearing not good things at all.

New Song(s) too So apart from the title exactly what about it makes it Cats? Because it's starting to look as though the most likely connection it has is that one of the writers might have seen one once.

If they even try to get away with not having Memory, especially with Jennifer Hudson in the cast, I swear to god.

There's no way they're not including Memory. Right? Right?!

Originally, I was hoping the transformation/ adaptation might resemble what Milos Forman did to 'Hair' (a film I love, where a conceptual "happening" was given a linear narrative). Sadly, I'm not convinced this "concept" will be so successful...

They have to add a new song so they can put it forward for Best Original Song at the Oscars, and they might as well add several so the critics can find one they like!

If he is ‘learning to sir’,he should ask Ian McKellen how to do it on his tour.

If he's another Skimbleshanks that DOESN'T have an Edinburgh accent I will riot.

I just don’t know how this, and everyone in it, will look anything other than completely daft. The world has moved on since the 80’s. I’m most intrigued to find out though.
