Lights, Camera, Cats Action

What do you mean, “why” is it my dream to film an all-cat remake of the 1991 Gene Hackman legal thriller Class Action?

“Why?” What kind of question is that? I don’t cross-examine my dreams, OK? Maybe you’re the kind of person who sees an exquisite butterfly flitting across a field of wildflowers, grabs the butterfly, and demands to see its papers. Not me. When I’m blessed by a dream, no matter how impractical or daunting or stupid, I hold on to that dream for all it’s worth.

In a treasuring way, I mean, not in the interrogating way you hold that poor butterfly.

And as this dream unfolded, I knew I’d need 26 things to make it a reality: a good camera and 25 cats. The camera part was easy. The JVC Everio HD Camcorder offers 40x optical zoom, a Konica Minolta HD lens, and 720p video recording. With the JVC Everio shooting the footage, this isn’t going to be one of those chintzy, two-bit all-cat movie remakes. An idea this brilliant deserves genuinely professional production values.

Now all I need is the cats. A greying and unkempt but still spry and irreverent one as Jed Ward, the civil-rights lawyer originally played by Mr. Gene Hackman. For his daughter Maggie Ward, I need a pretty one with wide-set eyes and curly black fur, to stand in for Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio – you know, the kind of cat who’d feel authentic as a driven young laywer who turns to conservative politics in rebellion against her neglectful dad. And a big jowly cat for Fred Thompson’s Dr. Getchell, and a blandly handsome, vaguely slimy British cat to play Maggie’s corporate-lawyer boss and lover, and -

Look, I could go on, but I see by the sign that this shelter closes at 5, and this dream won’t wait until tomorrow. So get out the paperwork or whatever you need to do and let me start picking out my cast, OK? Oh, and, uh, what’s your return policy?
