Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Joanou actually did direct U2's 'Rattle and Hum' and nearly quit Hollywood after studio battles on 'State of Grace.' This is barely disguised therapy.
The talking cat was almost cut. Test audiences thought it was too weird, which is exactly why it stays—it's the film's thesis on creative compromise.
