Cats movie attracts all-star cast but fans call it a 'CGI monstrosity'

But as the trailer burst on to the internet on Wednesday night, it baffled and mesmerised fans in equal measure. Kristy Puchko tweeted: “I don’t know what I expected from Cats’ “digital fur technology” but the short answer is not this. My brain has melted. My eyes are bleeding. There is no God.”

But the 2min 22sec trailer did not completely disappoint. Megan Amran wrote: “Cats is going to be the greatest movie of all time.” While US journalist Perez Hilton added: “I am genuinely shocked! This is not cheesy. Or campy. This looks sophisticated! This looks Oscar worthy! So damn good! Can’t wait to see it now!”In a behind-the-scenes video, director Tom Hooper — the man behind Les Miserables — said: “We’ve used digital fur technology to create the most perfect covering of fur.

Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger, singer Leona Lewis and pop diva Beverley Knight have also gone on to play the role. The stars for the upcoming film were enrolled in “cat school” to teach them how to act like the animals ahead of filming.FELINES with knockers, tails springing out of behinds and some questionable use of CGI, it’s clear the film still requires a few nips and tucks before the big release.

The effects might not please everyone but at the heart of the short trailer was a much-loved musical with an astounding soundtrack that still has the power to stun. It tells the story of cat tribe the Jellicles, who have gathered for the Jellicle Ball, led by Old Deuteronomy, played in the film by Dame Judi. Over the course of a single night, the tribe have to decide who will ascend to their version of heaven and be born again.

Dame Judi, 84, can make amends after missing the 1981 West End production due to an injury. She said: “Just before we opened I snapped my Achilles tendon and I thought that was my history with Cats, but it turns out not to be.”A principal dancer with the Royal Ballet, 27-year-old Francesca takes on the show’s most difficult dance role for her first outing on the big screen.
