Peña joins previously announced star Chloe Grace Moretz, who leads the film as Kayla, a new hire at an elegant Park Hotel where Jerry is staying. Worried for her job, she hires a broke alley cat, Tom, to get rid of the mouse.
Peña’s character, Terrance, is the deputy general manager of the hotel. A bit of bully, he hires Kayla as a temporary hire only to end up pitted against her and Tom/ Jerry once she starts impressing upper management.
The slapstick cat-and-mouse antics of Tom & Jerry have been around since 1940 when they were introduced by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. Between 1940 and 1958, the original Tom & Jerry series yielded 114 shorts and won seven Oscars in the animated short category. Television franchises, more shorts and a 1992 feature film, Tom & Jerry: The Movie would follow over the decades.
> live-action / animated take on the classic cartoon I hate this. All my favorite studios does this shit since the late 2000s and it looks like it'll never end.
The plot of the movie doesn't sound that bad for a live action Tom And Jerry movie

Isn't Tom the villain? Also do you have to hire a cat and pay him a salary? I thought you could just keep him as a pet and he would try to catch a mouse because he's a hungry predator.
Jack Kelly
Is he playing Speedy Gonzalez?
Austin Brown
I have literally no confidence that this will be anything more than an Alvin and the Chipmunks clone, which is an *incredibly* low bar in the first place.

She hires the cat? And is like, paying him money?
Jeremiah Bailey
Is he going to be an OC that wants to fuck the maid that's going to be made into a bimbo?
Isaiah Wright
mouse hunt?
Ian Cox

Asher Foster
Not a situation where you blame the talent
