Variety confirms that the upcoming Universal Pictures and Working Title’s film adaptation has set Andy Blankenbuehler as the production’s choreographer. Blankenbuehler is known most recently as the choreographer for Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton.

Blankenbuehler has won three Tonys for his work on Hamilton, Bandstand, and In the Heights.

The upcoming adaptation of the fourth-longest-running show in Broadway history and was the longest-running Broadway show ever from 1997 until 2006, is already boasting a stellar cast including Idris Elba, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson, Judi Dench, James Corden, and Ian McKellen. The film will be direct by Tom Hopper from a script he co-wrote with Lee Hall.

Cats is dated for December 20, 2019.

Cats is based on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s hit musical of the same name and follows a tribe of cats called the Jellicles. Wilson will play old Gumbie cat Jennyanydots, who spends her days seeking out the warm and sunny spots where she can sit and sleep for hours.

Even before the news of her casting was announced, Cats still had one of the most impressive ensembles in recent memory. Its impressive cast includes Jennifer Hudson, Taylor Swift, James Corden, Ian McKellen, Judi Dench, and Idris Elba.

Rebel Wilson is no newcomer to the world of movie musicals. She got her big break thanks to playing Fat Amy in the Pitch Perfect franchise. This role opened many doors for the Australian actress, who’s set to appear in three promising projects next year, including Taika Waititi’s war satire Jojo Rabbit.

The highly anticipated adaptation of the mega-hit musical from Andrew Lloyd Webber will be directed by Tom Hooper. This Oscar-winning filmmaker already did an amazing job turning Les Misérables into a movie, so we’re pretty confident he’ll be able to do the same with Cats.

Another reason why this adaptation is destined for greatness? It’s amazing, multi-talented cast! Long before Idris Elba jumped on board, Taylor Swift, Ian McKellen, James Corden, and Jennifer Hudson already accepted Hooper’s invitation to join the cast.

The star of Luther will reportedly play mischievous cat Macavity. He’s a criminal mastermind who serves as the antagonist of the central characters, a tribe of fellow cats called the Jellicles. Filming should start later this year and it will premiere on December 20, 2019.
