The Twitter hashtag "#ReleaseTheButtholeCut" began trending yesterday after writer Jack Waz alleged that an acquaintance of his, a VFX producer, "was hired in November to finish some of the 400 effects shots in @catsmovie. His entire job was to remove CGI buttholes that had been inserted a few months before".

Waz continued: "Which means that, somewhere out there, there exists a butthole cut of Cats."

Various celebrities have demanded the release of this (frankly horrifying) cut as comic relief during the global coronavirus pandemic.

Knives Out director Rian Johnson and actor Seth Rogan are among stars who've so far tweeted that the cut be made available.
