Cast

Production

In April 2015, a new theatrical Tom and Jerry feature film was announced. It was originally going to be completely animated and "in the same vein" as the source material; Cate Adams and Jesse Ehrman were to oversee the film.[1]

In October 2018, it was instead announced that Tim Story would direct a live-action/animated Tom and Jerry film for Warner Bros., which would begin filming in 2019. It was reported that Story was in discussions with Warner Bros. executives about what he was interested in directing. When the Tom and Jerry film was brought up, Story immediately "mentioned his admiration for the characters and how he’d love tackling that property."[2] In March 2019, it was reported that Zoey Deutch and Olivia Cooke were frontrunners for the lead live-action role of Kayla, “who teams up with Tom to stop the pesky Jerry from ruining an important event for herself.” Additionally, Yara Shahidi, Kelly Marie Tran, Becky G and Isabela Moner were in consideration for the role.[3] Later that month, it was reported that Peter Dinklage was being considered for the role of Terrance, Kayla's boss and the human antagonist of the film.[4] In April, Chloë Grace Moretz was in final negotiations to star in the film.[5] In May 2019, Michael Peña joined the cast in the role Dinklage was eyed for.[6] Colin Jost, Ken Jeong, Rob Delaney, Jordan Bolger and Pallavi Sharda were added to the cast in July.[7][8] Patsy Ferran was revealed to be part of the cast in September.[9]

Principal photography began in July 2019 at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden in Hertfordshire, England.[10]

Release

Tom and Jerry will be released on December 23, 2020 by Warner Bros. Pictures.[11] It was originally set for an April 16, 2021 release.[12]
