What is Happening in the ‘Cats’ Trailer

Gather round, kitty girls: the first trailer for the upcoming Cats live-action remake has been unveiled. Apart from the star-studded cast — which includes the lovable James Corden, vocal luminary Academy Award-winner Jennifer Hudson, That’s-Dame-to-You Judi Dench, gay British screen legend Ian McKellen, Jason Derulo (Jasooon Deruuloo), and Taylor Swift — little has been said about what the film would actually entail. In case anyone has been paying attention to new The Lion King (out today and starring Beyonce), public response to any live-action musical (particularly of the feline variety — lions still count as cats, I checked) has been mixed at best. That being said, a Jennifer Hudson rendition of ‘Memory’ is sure to give me more life than my mother did 25 years ago. So paws up for that.

 

Watch the trailer above and Hollywood, maybe two live-action cat musicals is enough for the year.

Watch Every Movie Released This Year in Seven Minutes

Some people have a lot of time on their hands. Those with such privilege must busy themselves somehow. Sometimes they: write songs, perform magic tricks, or, remember that guy that recited every line of Mean Girls in thirty minutes? These people exist, they’re real, and best of all, their schedule is wide open. Add a new contender to the pantheon of the time-unbound, as The Sleepy Skunk — his name, not one we assigned him — has taken every movie that hit theatres in 2013 and boiled them down to one comprehensive 6:45 supercut. ‘Cause how else should someone named The Sleepy Skunk manage his time? 

An overview: from 12 Years A Slave to that movie in which Denzel and Marky Mark blew up cars, many masked people, many guns — so many guns — worlds in peril, Blanchett in the shower, Gosling, DiCaprio, Gordon-Levitt, fire, blaze, explosion,”duck!”, DeNiro pushing Michael Douglas into a pool, people running for their lives, Judi Dench gazing off in the distance on a hill, an unwelcome reminder of that Oz movie, Jared Leto in drag, and a barrage of explosives (’cause who’s sick of those?).

Ian McKellen, considered by many one of the greatest actors of his generation, is currently starring with his bestie Patrick Stewart on Broadway in The Seagull. The acclaimed thespi took a night off from Chekhov, when he was placed in the hot-seat last night appearing with former Lord of the Rings co-star Orlando Bloom on Watch What Happens Live. During a round of the popular game Plead the Fifth, host Andy Cohen asked McKellen a question he’s likely never before been asked:

Marry/Shag/Kill:

Dame Judi Dench, Dame Maggie Smith, and Dame Hellen Mirren.

It took him a moment to think this one through. Brow somewhat furrowed he responded matter-of-factly, “In that order.”

Marry: Dench, Shag: Smith, Kill: Mirren.
