'Cats' Musical Becoming a Movie by 'Les Misérables' Director Tom Hooper
Cats is a musical that's not Hamilton. It debuted on London's West End in 1981 and went on to become one of Broadway's longest-running shows ever, with a revival coming this year. And now it shall claw its way to the silver screen.
Variety reports that decorated English director Tom Hooper is helming and producing. The Daily Mail adds that research is being done as to whether to use CGI, live-action or a combo—and that production may not start till late 2017 or early '18. Earlier this year, the U.K.'s Sun newspaper said Hooper was eyeing the project and looking to model/actress Suki Waterhouse (Insurgent, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies) as a potential star.
