The film, rated PG for cartoon violence, rude humor and brief language, Tom and Jerry is set to be released on March 5, 2021, by Warner Bros. Pictures. It will make it the first theatrically released film to feature the Tom and Jerry characters in 29 years since the release of Tom and Jerry: The Movie in 1992.

One of the most beloved rivalries in history is reignited when Jerry, a mischievous mouse who has taken up residence in New York City’s finest hotel on the eve of “the wedding of the century,” forcing the event’s desperate planner, a young employee named Kayla, to hire an alley cat named Tom to get rid of him. However, the ensuing cat and mouse battle threatens to destroy her career, the wedding, and possibly the hotel itself. But soon, an even bigger problem arises: a diabolically ambitious staffer conspiring against all three of them.

An eye-popping blend of classic animation and live action, Tom and Jerry’s new big-screen adventure stakes new ground for the iconic characters and forces them to do the unthinkable… work together to save the day.

“Tom & Jerry” stars Chloë Grace Moretz (“Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising,” “The Addams Family”), Michael Peña (“Cesar Chavez,” “American Hustle,” “Ant-Man”), Rob Delaney (“Deadpool 2,” “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw”), Colin Jost (“How to be Single,” “Saturday Night Live”), and Ken Jeong (“Crazy Rich Asians,” “The Hangover,” “Transformers: Dark of the Moon”).

The film is directed by Tim Story (“Fantastic Four,” “Think Like a Man,” “Barbershop”) and produced by Chris DeFaria (“The LEGO Movie 2,” “Ready Player One,” “Gravity”).

It is written by Kevin Costello, based on characters created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. Serving as executive producers are Tim Story, Adam Goodman, Steven Harding, Sam Register, Jesse Ehrman, and Allison Abbate. The creative filmmaking team includes director of photography Alan Stewart, production designer James Hambidge, editor Peter S. Elliot, and costume designer Alison McCosh. The music is composed by Christopher Lennertz.

A Warner Bros. Pictures and Warner Animation Group presentation, a Tim Story Film, “Tom & Jerry” will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Raymond “Red” Reddington and Elizabeth Keen’s convoluted story will continue to unspool when the crime thriller The Blacklist returns for Season 8, Nov. 13 on NBC, with its complex storytelling and memorable performances, as Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone) will be on a mission to take down Raymond Reddington (James Spader) once and for all — and EW has an exclusive first look at the new season.

After siding with her mother against Red in the season 7 finale, Agent Keen is only ramping up her efforts in this new trailer, in which we see her and Reddington both planning and making moves. Whoever ends up the victor, it will no doubt be a hard-fought battle.

Katarina Rostova (Laila Robbins) was a huge catalyst for Liz’s new trajectory. When The Blacklist executive producers said she would have a “deep impact” on everything Liz believes, they weren’t exaggerating. After building trust in season 7, the mother-daughter duo will have to see how well they work together. Katarina is still a dangerous and unpredictable spy, after all.

The other questions looming over the new season stem from Red and Katarina’s past. Red’s illness is still a question mark, and then there’s the mysterious blackmail file known as the Sikorsky Archive. As Jon Bokenkamp told EW at the end of season 7, the Sikorsky Archive “is incredibly important, and is part of the deep mythology that goes back to the beginning of the show.”

What makes this attempt to take Red down different is Liz embracing her darkness to get the job done. “Before she would look at the darkness in front of her and fear that if she went there, it would be a mistake,” John Eisendrath said previously. “Now she looks at it more as an opportunity than an obstacle.”
