Rebel Wilson Has Been Added To The Cast Of The Cats Movie
Get the Full StoryThe live-action Cats movie continues to add famous humans to its cast, and the lineup is currently a real mish-mash of people. The movie s got Jennifer Hudson, Taylor Swift, Ian McKellen, James Corden, and Idris Elba, and Dame Judi Dench. God, that s like only 1 5 of the cats too there s too many cats in that musical . It looks like we can now add Rebel Wilson s name to the list.Deadline says that Rebel will play Jennyanydots, the roly-poly lazy by day slavedriver by night house cat. Jennyanydots biography is that she sits around all day long doing jack shit, then when the evening comes, she s puts mice and cockroaches to work on knitting, crocheting and tap dancing. So she s pretty much the feline equivalent of Abby Lee Miller.
Jennyanydots was to be played by Dame Judi Dench in the original 1981 London production she was also cast as Grizabella , but an injury forced her to drop out shortly before opening night. Judi is reportedly playing a gender-switched version of Old Deuteronomy in this Cats film. Rebel confirmed she s in Cats by tweeting this:

It looks like she s learned her lesson by not tweeting that she s making film history as the first plus-size cat on screen. That s a good thing. You do not want Garfield sending you an angry hate letter written in lasagna sauce.
