Nine Lives

The movie sees Sonnenfeld team up with Kevin Spacey... but this is the Oscar-winning actor like we have never seen him before. Yes, he is going to be transformed into a cat.

Nine Lives is a family comedy that is set to hit the big screen this summer and the brand new trailer for the film has been released. Take a look:

We haven't seen Sonnenfeld in the director's chair since the success of Men In Black 2 back in 2012 - it is good to have him back.

The director has brought together an impressive cast list as Robbie Amell, Christopher Walken, Jennifer Garner, Teddy Sears, and Cheryl Hines are all set to star alongside Spacey.

Tom Brand (Spacey) is a daredevil billionaire at the top of his game. His eponymous company FireBrand is nearing completion on its greatest achievement to date - the tallest skyscraper in the northern hemisphere. But Tom's workaholic lifestyle has disconnected him from his family, particularly his beautiful wife Lara (Garner) and his adoring daughter Rebecca (Malina Weissman).

Rebecca's 11th birthday is here, and she wants the gift she wants every year, a cat. Tom hates cats, but he is without a gift and time is running out. His GPS directs him to a mystical pet store brimming with odd and exotic cats- where the store's eccentric owner- Felix Perkins (Christopher Walken), presents him with a majestic tomcat, named Mr. Fuzzypants. En route to his daughter's party, Tom has a terrible accident. When he regains consciousness he discovers that somehow, he has become trapped inside the body of the cat. Adopted by his own family, he begins to experience what life is truly like for the family pet, and as a cat, Tom begins to see his family and his life through a new and unexpected perspective.

Meanwhile, his family adjusts to life with an odd and stubborn cat, and his son David (Amell), steps up in ways Tom never expected. If any hope exists of returning to his family as the husband and father they deserve, Tom will have to learn why he has been placed in this peculiar situation and the great lengths he must go to earn back his human existence.

Nine Lives is released 5th August.
