Christopher Walken turns Kevin Spacey into a cat in the Nine Lives trailer

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Tom Brand (Kevin Spacey) is a daredevil billionaire at the top of his game but his workaholic lifestyle has disconnected him from his family, particularly his beautiful wife Lara (Jennifer 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. 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. Watch the second trailer, if you dare…

Director Barry Sonnenfeld is given a lot of credit for his early directorial efforts like THE ADDAMS FAMILY and MEN IN BLACK, and rightfully so. Those films showed promise, wonderful actors and great writing. Nowadays, it looks like he's only able to bring one of those qualities to his films. Seriously, the man hasn't had a decent movie in 20 years, so I'm not expecting much from this. Still, even actors and directors have bills to pay.

NINE LIVES hits theaters on August 5th.
