Trailer for the MOVIE EVENT OF THE YEAR | CATS | Taylor Swift, Idris Elba, James Corden | directed by Tom Hooper
- Thread starter berzeli
- Start date
I rewatched it, Idris and Taylor don't look too bad but the main cat is just creepy looking, the first turn around moment is genuinely a bit unsettling to me, Judy Dench, J Hudson and Rebel Wilson just look really bad
That feeling when Doctor Who has better effects than Hollywood...Like they should have gone for:
I'm not sure how I feel about this lol? Never seen the musical. Sounded beautiful. Looked... well unique.
If nothing else, I hope Swift's lame talent gets exposed next to some real singers (and actors for that matter).
Edit: also, obviously goes without saying, but this alone is going to power an entire generation of furries. So there's that too.

For reference to what the broadway costumes looked like. I think it's very faithful.
I guess the problem is most of the younger generations don't even know about the play.
In the broadway show it was human actors in make up. The use of CGI in this film just looks bizarre and unsettling, it doesn't work at all and looks nothing like the stage version. It looks like a bad deepfake.
They should have cast Anna as the "human" in the movie, confused by all these weird looking singing cats.
For the stage play, you could at least tell the performers were just regular people in a cat outfit.
This movie's photo-real CG though.... whew.... no thanks.
And since the producers are going for near-realism, shouldn't Taylor Swift's character have more than one pair of breasts?
Cos like, that's anatomically correct, yes?

They should have just had Taylor Swift be herself and nobody notices that she's a human pop idol lol
I can only assume some Universal executives are furries.
I think Idris and Taylor work better as they've kept the fur to a minimum and it fits better with their natural skin tones. They've also kept them looking that bit more human.
All the cats with pure white faces look bad (eyes and mouth just look weird on that stark white background). Biggest CGI mess is J Hudson...they either need a complete fur redesign for her...or need to reshoot her with practical effects (given she has the biggest song).
Why? It's a show-stopping, beautiful song in the original musical. Hopefully this production's version will do it justice.
Haha, I'm with you. I love it so far.
I am beyond fascinated by (and surprised by the ferocity of) the extremely negative reactions. Some seems to be related to the effects being unsettling somehow. I don't see that myself, but I can understand.
But I also imagine a bunch is some sort of deep-seated discomfort with the idea of anthropomorphism / furries in general. The one poster earlier who was like, extremely distraught at the idea of more furries "being created," what was that about? Why do they give a fuck, much less frown on people having this interest / fascination / or yeah, even fetish?
That's honestly terrifying. Every character looks like it comes from a reimagining of a sleep paralysis dream, what the fuck is that?
Ew
Ew
This film is giving the gods more reason to abandon mankind.
The furries will be loving it- entire screenings of this to themselves

Hollywood adapting successful Broadway musicals into movies has been going on since it's Golden Age.
I thought it looked great? I didn't even know they were making a Cats adaptation, but as soon as I saw the thread title, the cats in the trailer were more or less what I had imagined they would be?
I've never seen the Cats show, but I thought it had more of an 80s glam rock vibe to it though?

It's in development at Universal with a release date of December 22, 2021.
