Couldn’t find one that existed.
Um... what is this casting?

Maybe they can cast your leader as that ugly, fat orange and treasonous cat.

Will we ever get that Rum Tum Tugger rap that ALW wrote but scrapped from the new revival?
Let's hope not.

Dearest Tom Hooper:
Stop trying to make Taylor Swift in a classical movie musical happen. It's never going to happen.

MEOW indeed!

Taylor Swift, James Corden, and Ian McKellan all signed on as well according to THR and Variety.

HOw is this going to be? A live rendition of the show? CGI?
Posted: 7/20/18 at 9:34am
Yea, like is this going to be CGI?
and if so, CGI cats as cats, or CGI people as cats.
Because if it is cats as cats then there wont be any dancing, and dance is the main focus of this show.
(please don't put James Corden in a leotard)

Are you body-shaming?

I suspect it'll be live-action with CGI cats aided by motion-capture? It'll look ghastly.
I wish the animated Spielberg adaptation had come to pass.

Hudson as Griz, Swift as Victoria (I'm already crying Victoria is too beautiful to be dragged through this), McKellen as Gus?
What even is this? Will Grumpy Cat get a cameo?

I've seen a casting notice for this requiring a "very high standard of dancing" (and singing & acting) so I'm assuming it will be live action rather than CGI.
It just all seems very bizarre. Also why is James Corden in literally everything?

I can see him in this more so than Skimble, unless they totally abandon the original choreography because Skimble is a tough dance.
And yes I'm bodyshaming, I dont think anyone wants to see him in a leotard dancing around and expect to be taken seriously, its fine in his crosswalk things as those are done for comedy.
Ian McKellen would also be a great Old Deuternomy if he could hit those notes, but chances are he will be Gus

so would Dame Judy, but I believe that would be hard sell

Cordon could be Munkustrap. The character doesn’t have much of a personality, but does seem to be the one organizing everything. I can see Corden playing him as a sort of harried party planner type.
Posted: 7/20/18 at 6:35pm
Michael Gruber. Andy Jones. James Corden.
Yeah, one of these things is not like the others. One of these things just doesn't belong...or however that old Sesame Street tune goes.
Posted: 7/20/18 at 7:29pm
Not for anything, but by this point isn't casting Jennifer Hudson to do the big number towards the end of the show just seeming like an obvious, lazy choice?
