Tom and Jerry have been trying to kill each other for 80 years — and now, they’ll continue that tradition in a new movie scheduled for release in theatres in 2021.
As per the trailer, conniving mouse Jerry has taken up residence in the melding, and eager-to-please employee Chloë Grace Moretz is charged with evicting him. Tom arrives to help terrorize the mouse out of this house.
But as anyone who’s seen any iteration of “Tom and Jerry” knows, the cat rarely wins. In the trailer alone, Tom pinballs between two cars, is cartoonishly electrocuted, and is thrown in front of a bus by his tiny tormenter.
Michael Peña, Colin Jost and Ken Jeong co-star with the Hanna-Barbera characters. Cartoon violence ensues.
The film is scheduled for a March theatrical release. Studios are tentatively scheduling films for wide theatrical releases in 2021 with hopes that coronavirus cases will subside and it’ll be safe to gather in enclosed spaces with strangers again. Blockbusters like the James Bond flick “No Time to Die” and Marvel’s “Eternals” were delayed for months from their initial release date, though many theatres haven’t survived months-long closures brought on by the pandemic.
Some studios are releasing films on streaming platforms, like Disney with its would-be blockbuster “Mulan,” or are screening them in theatres for a few weeks before they debut on demand.
Comments are closed, but trackbacks and pingbacks are open.
