Paramount Pictures
Starring:
 Jim Carrey, Ed Harris
Directed by: Peter Weir

Synopsis: Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey), an insurance salesman living in a quiet island community, starts to question the world around him, not suspecting that he is actually the focus of a reality television series which has followed him his whole life.

Purr Blur: In one scene the series’ Control Room Director (Paul Giamatti) is working the night shift with a small crew.  Truman has gone into his basement so they are focusing on the basement video panel.  A cat is seen walking along the top of the control consule.  The cat would appear to be the same cat who played Pearl in the film Assassins and who looks similar to cat actor Elvis.

Final Mewsings: Cats are too unpredictable to cast in such volatile reality shows.
