CATS began production earlier today, December 12, in London. Universal Pictures released a behind the scenes photo from set in honor of the news.
Directed by Tom Hooper, this new adaptation, based on the cult musical, stars Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson, James Corden, and Ian McKellen. It will tell the story of “The Jellicle Cats that come out to play on one special night of the year – the night of the Jellicle Ball. One by one they tell their stories for the amusement of Old Deuteronomy, their wise and benevolent leader, who must choose one of the Cats to ascend to The Heaviside Layer and be reborn into a whole new Jellicle life.”
CATS will open in theaters on December 20, 2019.
