Move over Benedict Cumberbatch, there's a new star in town.

A couple have gone viral after creating their own 'Kittywood' remakes of classic films with a twist in the tail.

Business and finance apprentice Sarah Chapman, 23, and boyfriend David, 30, a software engineer, enlisted their cats Tara and Willow to take centre stage in their tributes.

And there's no doubt they're clawsome performers whether they're channeling the method style as Jack Nicholson or taking a romantic lead in Ghost.

Ms Chapman said they had started out making the images for a pub quiz.

But they decided to share them with a wider audience after they went down well with drinkers.
