In a fresh and exciting development, the brand new trailer has been released for the highly anticipated animated-live-action film, Tom and Jerry. This thrilling preview showcases the talented Chloe Grace Moretz getting entangled in the long-standing rivalry between the iconic duo. The trailer begins with a charming narrator introducing the audience to the intriguing premise. After countless years of being renowned as the world’s most famous adversaries, Tom and Jerry find themselves embarking on a whole new adventure in the vibrant metropolis. However, fate takes an unexpected turn when Tom is unexpectedly struck by a bus, setting the stage for an unpredictable and entertaining story. As the trailer continues, we catch a glimpse of Jerry, the witty and mischievous mouse, making himself right at home in a luxurious hotel. Meanwhile, Kayla, portrayed by Chloe Grace Moretz, is informed about a concerning “mouse problem” and she decides to seek the assistance of none other than Tom. The plot thickens when Jerry catches a glimpse of Tom, who has now seemingly adapted to a more domesticated lifestyle. However, instead of reacting with fear, Jerry finds this situation hilariously ironic and bursts into laughter. This unexpected turn of events leaves Tom visibly flustered, causing him to lose control and slam his head against a wall in his fervent attempt to capture Jerry. With a relaxed and engrossing tone, this trailer offers a taste of the exciting and comedic escapades that await viewers in the upcoming Tom and Jerry film.
Issue with a mouse: As Kayla embarks on her new career as a wedding planner, she enlists the help of Tom Cat to solve the ongoing mouse problem, despite his prior unsuccessful attempts at extermination.
Although the video initially hints at a possible truce between the furry adversaries, it seems that their conflict has merely shifted to a luxurious hotel in the heart of New York City.
“After a lifetime of being recognized as the world’s most famous adversaries, Tom and Jerry are now embarking on a fresh start in the bustling metropolis,” stated a narrator, just moments before Tom’s unfortunate encounter with a bus. As the cat and mouse engage in their eternal battle, chaos erupts and threatens to shatter Kayla’s professional career, the highly anticipated ‘wedding of the century,’ and even the very foundation of the hotel itself. This relentless pursuit between the iconic duo wreaks havoc on a grand scale. Much like the original 1940 cartoon created by the brilliant minds of William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, the hunt takes its toll on Tom, subjecting him to electrifying shocks and the painful impact of a hurtling bowling ball. Reflecting upon her time on set, Chloë Grace Moretz, in an interview with People, expressed her immense enjoyment working on the film, which is scheduled for a theatrical release on March 5, 2021. Moretz also revealed her deep connection with her character, describing her as a “complete goofball” and relished the opportunity to embrace her true self on screen.
Mayhem ensues as the video shifts its focus to Jerry, who elegantly settles into a cozy hotel room. Meanwhile, the mischievous Kayla discovers the existence of a bothersome “mouse problem” and decides to seek the assistance of Tom.
Uh-oh: But, as soon as Jerry catches sight of the tamed kitty, he can’t help but burst into uncontrollable laughter, leaving poor Tom feeling embarrassed, turning crimson, and unintentionally banging his head against the wall in a desperate attempt to capture him.
Iconic adversaries: The resulting battle between a cat and a mouse puts Kayla’s career, ‘the wedding of the century,’ and possibly the hotel at risk, as the pursuit leads to chaos and confusion. Describing Kayla, the protagonist, the actress enthusiastically stated, “I admired her resemblance to Jerry. She was a determined young woman who fought for her goals, understanding that time and honesty are key to achieving success in the end.” When asked what attracted her to the project, Moretz shared that she has been a devoted viewer of Tom and Jerry “for as long as I can remember.” She fondly recalled how the cartoon had become a beloved tradition in her family, with everyone gathering around to enjoy the silly and entertaining exploits of the iconic duo.
Ouch! Just like the classic cartoon from 1940, brought to life by the talented duo of William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, Tom’s pursuit is no easy task and proves to be quite a painful experience.
The cat and house game presents several hilarious scenes where Tom, our mischievous feline friend, encounters the unexpected. From getting zapped by electricity to being struck by a rogue bowling ball, and even enduring Jerry’s relentless pranks, laughter is guaranteed throughout this playful tale.
In an upcoming film set to release on March 5, 2021, actress Moretz shared her enjoyable experience on set. Despite the challenges of acting alongside animated characters, she found it exciting to work with creatives who helped bring the fictional characters to life. Moretz revealed that during filming, she often found herself interacting with objects that represented the animated characters, such as a stick with a name tag or a scaled model. Despite these unconventional circumstances, she appreciated the opportunity to improvise and collaborate with the animators, ultimately pushing the boundaries of their creative achievements.
Finding a way to make it happen: Collaborating with animated characters presented its fair share of difficulties, as she often found herself ‘acting in the absence of a physical presence’.
“I was really drawn to Kayla because she reminded me so much of Jerry,” the celebrity expressed. Reflecting on her character, she added, “Kayla was a determined young woman who pursued her goals relentlessly, but she also learned the importance of patience and honesty as the key factors for ultimate success.” These remarks were made in May 2019.
