The film Cats based on one of the most acclaimed musicals of all time will be released in December this year and Universal Pictures has just released the first trailer of the adaptation of the legendary Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, directed by Tom Hooper. And the truth is that the internet has reacted with amazement … and terror (and many memes). Despite its stellar cast , first impressions haven't been all that good.
The film features the performances of great celebrities such as Taylor Swift (it is her first leading role), Jennifer Hudson, Ian McKellen, James Corden, Idris Elba and Judi Dench. Hooper uses technology to turn the protagonists into felines and the result has not enthused everyone. Many Twitter and Instagram users have already alluded to the "terror" that actors produce after the digital transformation. And it is that their bodies have been computerized to be covered in hair.
The #Cats hashtag quickly became a trending topic on Twitter. Scott Mendelson , a Forbes film critic, tweeted that the trailer was "terribly scary and crazy, like a drug-induced nightmare come true." "I can't wait!" He added.
"After watching the Cats trailer , death no longer scares me," wrote one Twitter user.
Of course, there have also been people who have wanted to come to his defense.
Tom Hooper returns to direct a musical after commanding the adaptation of Les Miserables in 2012. This time he adapts the most commercially successful musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber (composer of Evita, The Phantom of the Opera or Jesus Christ Superstar ). It should be noted that Cats has been translated into more than 15 languages and has been released in numerous countries throughout the world.
