Mike Myers' Cat in the Hat Reimagined As Horror Movie In Fan Trailer
Despite being envisioned as a family comedy, Mike Myers' The Cat in the Hat has been reimagined as a horror movie in a new fan trailer. Loosely based on Dr. Seuss' book of the same name, the story centers on siblings Conrad and Sally as they are left at home on a rainy day by their real estate agent single mom with a lethargic babysitter and warned not to make a mess or put her job at risk. The bored kids find their world turned upside down with the arrival of The Cat in the Hat, who proceeds to cause chaos around the house, much to the chagrin of the kids' goldfish and their mom's sinister boyfriend.
Mike Myers led the cast of The Cat in the Hat in the titular role alongside Spencer Breslin, Dakota Fanning, Alec Baldwin, Kelly Preston, Amy Hill and Sean Hayes. Development on the film was originally set to kick off in the late '90s with Tim Allen playing The Cat, only for scheduling conflicts with The Santa Clause 2 forcing him to drop out and Myers brought on as part of a deal stemming from a cancelled Saturday Night Live film. Hitting theaters in late 2003, The Cat in the Hat was a critical disaster upon release and one audience member is looking back on the film with their own unique twist.
