Warner Bros. Pictures has unveiled a trailer for the upcoming \u201cTom and Jerry\u201d movie, scheduled for a 2021 theatrical premiere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the titular characters are animated in similar styles as the original television show, the new film diverges from tradition with live actors and a real-world set. Chlo\u00eb Grace Moretz stars as an event planner hired by a hotel to organize a wedding, but she\u2019s also expected to remove a pesky mouse \u2014 Jerry \u2014 from his recent residence within the building\u2019s walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Written by Kevin Costello and based on Joseph Barbera and William Hanna\u2019s classic characters, \u201cTom and Jerry\u201d revives the decades-old rivalry as Tom is enlisted to help remove Jerry from the premises before the date of the wedding arrives. Cartoon violence ensues as Tom contrives various schemes to sneak up on Jerry, only to fail on numerous occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two enemies must soon learn to collaborate with Moretz\u2019s character, as they realize someone on the hotel\u2019s staff is actively working against all three of them. And with a rivalry 80 years in the making, it\u2019s a new step forward for the cat and mouse duo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\u00a0film becomes the latest in a long history of \u201cTom and Jerry\u201d projects, with the first shorts dating back to 1940. To date, there are 164 animated shorts, various television series and multiple movies connected to the \u201cTom and Jerry\u201d name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The upcoming film also stars Michael Pe\u00f1a, Rob Delaney, Colin Jost and Ken Jeong. It is directed by Tim Story and produced by Chris DeFaria. Story, Adam Goodman, Steven Harding, Sam Register, Jesse Ehrman and Allison Abbate executive produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
