DC meets Marvel in
this latest offering
26
DEC
from Blue Sky Studios
as Will Smith (Deadshot in
Suicide Squad) teams up with
Tom Holland (Spider-Man
in the MCU) for an animated
adventure that’s sure to have
you coo-ing with delight.
Fresh from his dazzling turn
as the motor-mouthed Genie
in Aladdin, Smith voices Lance
Sterling, the “world’s most
awesome spy”. Determined
to stay one step ahead of the
game, Lance is intrigued
when Holland’s nerdy young
scientist Walter informs him of
a new invention he’s working on
that will “change spying forever”.
The curious Lance visits
Walter’s house to find out more
about this “next generation
concealment” tech, but then
disaster! He accidentally drinks
the experiment – which is still a
work in progress – and promptly
turns into a pigeon. Will Lance
be able to save the world when
he’s only a few inches tall?
Flying into theatres on Boxing
Day, this is terrific family fun.

Cats
TBC
Boasting a litter of A-list stars, this big-screen
adaptation of the West End smash is simply purrrfect

IAN MCKELLEN, TAYLOR SWIFT
The trailer split
opinion (to put it
mildly), but like
Guy Ritchie before him, Cats
director Tom Hooper is
destined to have the last laugh
this Christmas when his big-
screen adaptation of Andrew
Lloyd Webber’s beloved stage
musical hits cinemas. Aided
20
DEC
by his all-star cast (which
in addition to those on the
left includes James Corden,
Judi Dench, Jennifer Hudson
and Ray Winstone), Hooper
has produced a wonderfully
faithful take that will thrill
both Webber fans and film
fans alike. Yes, the CGI takes
a little getting used to, but
the quality of the songs and
singing is such that goose-
bumps are guaranteed.

Jon Favreau’s
photo-real remake
has singing felines
too... just really
big ones! Cats isn’t Tom
Hooper’s first West
End adap. He also
helmed this triple
Oscar winner. Even dog people
can’t fail to be
charmed by
this old-school
Disney classic.
