The Jellicle Cats come out to play on one special night of the year – the night of the Jellicle Ball.
The UK’s Daily Mail is reporting that Academy Award-winning filmmaker Tom Hooper (The King’s Speech, The Danish Girl) is currently in development on a Cats movie based on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s perennial musical.
The director is currently exploring whether to do the film entirely in CGI, entirely in live-action, or a combination of both ala the recent hit The Jungle Book.
Working Title Films, who previously worked with Hooper on the hit 2012 film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Les Miserables, will produce the Cats movie alongside Lloyd Webber.
