The only reason they are trying to "fix" it, is because they had so many big name people attached to it. Which, to be honest, I'm really confused about. The only reason I can think of is that it was based on a stage musical.

- hinkley 7y agoI’m not even an actor and if someone said they wanted me to have a bit part “in a movie with Judy Dench” I’d be like yeah okay. Poor Idris. I want to love him but he’s in so, so many bad movies. You get a couple of names on board based on an early draft of the script, they took a chance on you or they had a moment of bad judgement. But your peers come on board because you did, and pretty soon you have an all star cast and... dreck. Then it seems like everyone remembers that star power can’t fix everything and it’s a while before the same thing happens again. Cats just seems to be this cycle’s cautionary tale.
