The trailer for the live-action adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical Cats has finally arrived, and it’s quite the unsettling experience. With an impressive lineup that includes stars like James Corden, Judi Dench, Jennifer Hudson, Taylor Swift, and Idris Elba, curiosity about this film has been high for quite some time. However, it seems the trailer has overshadowed the cast, revealing that Jason Derulo is also a significant part of the project.
What Can We Say About This Trailer?
Well, it certainly defies expectations. The original musical was already a surreal journey, and if you’re familiar with it, you might find that this trailer captures that bizarre essence—albeit in a nightmarish way. For those who aren’t acquainted with the plot, it revolves around a group of stray cats gathering in a junkyard on the night of the Jellicle Ball, where one lucky feline will be chosen to ascend to the Heaviside layer for a fresh start. In simpler terms, it involves a lot of singing cats introducing themselves until one of them gets… well, a bit of a tragic fate? It’s puzzling, to say the least. Perhaps Andrew Lloyd Webber drew inspiration from an unusual experience at a cat café decades ago.
Visual Chaos vs. Stage Version
Unlike the stage version, which boasts stunning costumes and impressive choreography, the trailer for the film seems to lean into pure chaos. The CGI fur and tails covering the actors create an uncanny effect, making them appear more exposed than if they were truly naked. The overall vibe is unsettling, and social media is buzzing with reactions of disbelief and horror. Even sports icon Megan Rapinoe makes a cameo, adding to the trailer’s oddness.
