It’s been a few months since we were treated to that weird but wonderful first full-length trailer for Cats. You know the one: it slightly creeped everyone out a bit with feline characters that look like “human faces taped onto bodies wearing furry leotards with a few added CGI whiskers”.

Yep, you remember it.

The film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s hit musical production is due to hit UK cinemas on 10 December. Oscar-winning director Tom Hooper (of The King’s Speech, Les Misérables, and The Danish Girl fame) is the man responsible for taking the beloved stage show to the big screen. With such a huge Hollywood cast donning the leotards, even dog lovers are curious to see it.

Jennifer Hudson, James Corden, Judi Dench, Jason Derulo, Idris Elba, Ian McKellen and Rebel Wilson all star in the film. And, real life cat lover Taylor Swift – who is a moggie mum to Olivia Benson, Meredith Grey and Benjamin Button – also makes her musical film debut as Bombalurina.

In fact, it turns out that Swift has even written an original song for the film.
