With Les Misérables being not only a box office hit but a big winner at awards shows this year, it’s no surprise Universal is looking to do another movie based on a beloved musical. According to Andrew Lloyd Webber Cats will be getting a movie makeover soon.

Webber recently did an interview with The Daily Mail and let the…cat out of the bad (sorry, had to) when he said, “I haven’t seen the [Les Mis] film but it’s fantastic for musicals because everybody wants to make them again. Universal has now got Cats out of the drawer in which they locked it years ago when they bought the rights and suddenly they’re talking about a film.”

While Les Misérables was a win, not all musicals that make the move to the movie screen are. Remember Rock of Ages? It’s okay if you’ve done everything in your power to forget it, most people have. So do you think Cats will be a success?
