‘A Street Cat Named Bob’ – Watch the first trailer

Sony Pictures have released the very first trailer for their upcoming release A Street Cat Named Bob, the brand new movie which will hit cinemas later this year.

The film is based on James Bowen’s much-loved, best-selling book of the same name. Starring Luke Treadaway (Unbroken, Clash of the Titans) as James Bowen, A Street Cat Named Bob tells the moving and life-affirming true story of the unlikely friendship between a young homeless busker, James Bowen, and the stray ginger cat named Bob who changed his life.

Also starring Ruta Gedmintas (The Strain, The Incident) Joanne Froggatt (Downton Abbey, Filth) Anthony Head (Buffy The Vampire Slayer) and (of course) Bob, filming took place over six weeks in London, mainly in Covent Garden where James and Bob used to busk.

The film is directed by Roger Spottiswoode (Tomorrow Never Dies, Under Fire, Air America, Turner and Hooch), with a script from Tim John (Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde) and Maria Nation (Ice Bound)

The film is produced by Adam Rolston for Shooting Script Films and will be the company’s debut release.

You can catch the film in cinemas November 4. Here’s the new trailer.
