NINE LIVES Trailer: Kevin Spacey Becomes a Cat in a Movie That Somehow Isn't a Joke
Exactly one year ago, I wrote about how Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey was going to play a character who becomes trapped in a cat's body in a live-action movie called Nine Lives from Men in Black director Barry Sonnenfeld. Today, we have the first trailer for the film...and it looks just as awful as that premise suggests.
This looks like direct-to-DVD nonsense, and I'm having a really hard time wrapping my brain around why Spacey, Sonnenfeld, and Christopher Walken would get involved in a movie like this. Is it possible that this movie is a masterpiece and the trailer is just really bad? I don't know, but as it is, this looks like a fake joke trailer you'd see in something like 30 Rock, Funny People, or Tropic Thunder. Please, help me make some sense of this in the comments below.
Nine Lives opens in theaters (yes, for real) on August 5th.
