Rebel Wilson, Francesca Hayward and Jennifer Hudson happily strike a pose together on the blue carpet while attending their photo call for their anticipated film Cats held at The Corinthia Hotel on Friday (December 13) in London, England.

The three ladies were joined at the event by their co-stars Laurie Davidson, Sir Ian McKellen, Jason Derulo, Robbie Fairchild, Larry Bourgeois and Laurent Bourgeois, as well as the film’s writer-director Tom Hooper.

Earlier in the week, just Francesca Hayward and Jason Derulo attended their first photo call for Cats in Berlin.

Taylor Swift, who also stars in the film, was not able to make it out to the photo call due to her attendance at last night’s 2019 Billboard’s Women in Music event, where she was honored with the Woman of the Decade Award.

Francesca Hayward is all smiles as she strikes a pose at the photo call for her anticipated film Cats held at Soho House on Tuesday (December 10) in Berlin, Germany.

The 27-year-old Royal Ballet principal dancer was joined at the event by her co-star Jason Derulo as they kicked off the promotional tour together.

Francesca is making her feature film debut in the film adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. Francesca‘s character Victoria is set to sing the brand new song “Beautiful Ghosts” written by Taylor Swift in the movie.

Taylor, who also stars in the film, was just nominated for Best Original Song at the 2020 Golden Globes.

Francesca Hayward made her debut appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night (December 5) and dished about one of the most surreal days of her life being with Taylor Swift!

The 27-year-old Royal Ballet principal dancer is making her feature film debut in the film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber‘s musical, Cats, which also stars Taylor.

Taylor wrote the new song “Beautiful Ghosts” for the movie version of Cats with Andrew for Francesca‘s character Victoria.

“I think probably one of the most surreal days of my life so far was when Taylor asked to meet me. She had written the lyrics for Andrew [Lloyd Webber]‘s music and she called me into a room and basically gave me a private concert of the song for the first time,” Francesca Hayward told Kimmel. “Just me, her and a pianist and Tom Hooper, the director. She sang the whole song just to me in a room. It was surreal.”

Francesca also talked about being from Kenya and England, being a Principal Dancer for the Royal Ballet, and having a cat behavioral coach for the film.

One thing that most Broadway fans agree on is that the plot of the musical Cats is super confusing and people aren’t even sure what the show is about.

When it was announced that the musical would be made into a movie, the news was met with lots of groans. But now the latest trailer for the film has done something that previous marketing materials never did… it explained the plot!

Judi Dench‘s Old Deuteronomy does a voiceover in the new trailer and she basically reveals what is going on in the film: “Tonight is a magical night where I choose the cat that deserves a new life… I judge a cat by its soul.”

“The most deserving cat will be reborn into another life so they can be who they’ve always dreamed of being,” Robbie Fairchild‘s Munkustrap then says.

Here’s the synopsis provided by Universal: “Over the course of a single night, a tribe of cats called the Jellicles make what is known as ‘the Jellicle choice’ and decide which cat will ascend to the Heaviside Layer and come back to a new life.”

It has been a few months since the first Cats trailer went viral for the characters’ appearances. Now, there’s a brand new trailer for the movie!

The Andrew Lloyd Webber musical from director Tom Hooper has a star-studded cast including Jennifer Hudson, Taylor Swift, Judi Dench, Idris Elba, James Corden, Ian McKellen, Rebel Wilson, Jason Derulo, and more.

The film is set to hit theaters on December 20 of this year.

We recently found out some info about Cats and its award season eligibility.

Watch the trailer…

Don’t expect to see the cast of the movie Cats at the 2020 Golden Globes because the film is going to miss the eligibility deadline.

Indiewire reports that the movie will not be screened for awards voters until mid-December, which means it will miss the deadlines for several prestigious awards.

The final screening for the Golden Globes voters can be held on December 4. Other awards that the movie will miss including the SAG Awards, which close nominations on December 8, and the National Board of Review Awards, which announce their winners on December 3.

The New York Film Critics have even been told that they should not expect to see the movie before they vote on December 4.

Cats will be released in time for Oscars consideration, but the release date of December 20 won’t give voters that much time to see the film as voting for nominations closes on January 7.

Taylor Swift will be eligible for Best Original Song as she has co-written a new song for the movie with composer Andrew Lloyd Webber.
