Universal’s 2003 live-action The Cat In The Hat with Mike Myers wasn’t a huge success, but with their recent animated take on The Lorax massively outperforming expectations, they’re returning to the classic Dr. Seuss tale for a CGI movie.
Deadline says that Universal is once more teaming up with Illumination Entertainment, the company behind The Lorax and Despicable Me, for a film based on the tall, anthropomorphic, mischievous cat, who wear a tall, red and white-striped hat and a red bow tie. The books follow the Cat, who brings a cheerful, exotic and exuberant form of chaos to the household of two young kids, one rainy day while their mother leaves them unattended. The script will be written by Rob Lieber.
There’s no news on when the movie will reach cinemas, but following the success of The Lorax, Universal is liely to want it sooner rather than later.
