Yesterday, we told you about a strange new Cats rumor which claimed that a "Butthole Cut" of Cats exists somewhere in the depths of Universal Pictures.
Since then, the claims have gone viral, and Vanity Fair has decided to do some digging. They asked the person who first shared these bold claims for more intel and learned that he first heard of this alternate version of the poorly received musical around New Year's. However, his anonymous VFX source has provided online personality Ben Mekler with a few extra details:
From there, Vanity Fair reached out to Universal for comment, and a spokesperson for the film studio behind Cats started by saying the query was their "favorite email of ALL TIME" before adding that they can't possibly say anything about the #ReleaseTheButtholeCut uprising. "Hopefully that will add to the magic and mythical nature of the cinematic treasure," they added.
A spokesperson for Mill Film, the VFX company behind Cats, also refused to comment due to NDAs.
That's probably not the answer you were hoping for, but in many ways, it just makes this already legendary alternate version of Cats even more highly sought after and mysterious!
