There's a new 'Cats' musical film happening, but that's not the only good news. Singer Taylor Swift has been cast in the movie alongside Jennifer Hudson, James Corden and Ian McKellen in Working Title’s upcoming movie version of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical.

Tom Hooper, the Oscar-winning director of 'The King’s Speech, is set to direct 'Cats,' which is slated to begin shooting in Britain in November. The screenplay by Lee Hall, who is best known for his 2000 film 'Billy Elliot,' is based on Lloyd Webber’s musical, which was itself adapted from a book of children’s poems by T.S. Eliot.
