Evan Rachel Wood slams 'Cats,' says she feels like she's 'going to die' after watching it
Evan Rachel Wood felt like she's 'going to die' after watching the new film ‘Cats.’
Universal Pictures is officially wiping its paws of “Cats,” as the studio has reportedly removed the musical from its “For Your Consideration” page that lists the Oscar-qualifying films as well as their screening dates in a number of cities – this according to Variety.
An industry insider told the outlet on Thursday that the whimsical flop is also absent from being featured on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ streaming site, where Academy members can view the golden statue contenders.
“Cats” has been the subject of numerous reports and reviews slamming the film. Many are simply confused by so much that they can’t help but to laugh at the bizarre adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical.

"I have to have an actual live reaction of this," Wood, 32, said in an Instagram story before shouting, "What the f--k! What the f--k! What the f--k!"
