The first full-length trailer for the movie 'Cats' has been released. The trailer features singer Taylor Swift who can be seen shimmying as Bombalurina.
As much as Taylor does her best to shimmy off the haters, her fans and followers did not approve of the 'horrifying' trailer. The new clip gives viewers a glimpse into Oscar-winning King's Speech director Tom Hooper's attempt to turn Andrew Lloyd Webber's iconic stage musical into a cinematic release.
The film will be using CGI technology to turn the star-studded cast which includes the likes of Taylor Swift, Jason Derulo, Judi Dench, Francesca Hayward, and Jennifer Hudson into cats. Fans and followers have taken to social media to slam the 'creepy' CGI. One viewer wrote, "Taylor shimmying and her cat boobs shaking is truly the strangest and potentially creepiest thing I have seen".
Another user shared, "This movie looks wrong on so many levels," while a third chimed in, "I'm not one to judge on a trailer alone but boy it's hard NOT to leap to the conclusion that its gonna be a trainwreck". Another user added, "This looks creepy af but I’m lowkey interested".
The actors filmed using green screen technology and were then clothed in the CGI fur and whiskers which featured long tails. The new trailer shows the cast trying to impersonate cats the best way they can- from licking themselves to yelling 'milllllllkkkk' and pawing at their hands.
Viewers also hear Judi Dench's character Old Deuteronomy talking about how one special cat will get to be reborn "so they can be who they've always dreamed of being". The cast also features Idris Elba, Late Late Show host James Corden, Ian McKellen, and also Rebel Wilson.
The film has been written by Hooper and Lee Hall and has been choreographed by Hamilton's Tony-winning choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler. The dance styles range from classical ballet to contemporary, hip hop to jazz, street dance to tap.
