The Great Catsby, casting list. The deadline is Monday, 36 hours remain.
I'm working on an English project at the minute to cast The Great Gatsby. Due to my usual tendency to make everything as difficult for myself as possible, I've decided to instead cast The Great Catsby, where each character from the book is played by a fictional cat.
I've kind of run into a bit of a stand still with at the minute, so I came to the wonderful people of online literature to bounce some ideas off of.
Here's a rough casting I came up with during the early hours of the morning.
Nick Carraway – Top Cat
Gatsby – Snagglepuss
Tom – Panthro (Thundercats)
Daisy – Penelope Pussycat
Jordan – ???
Myrtle – Cheshire cat
That's pretty rough and needs work, so any ideas would be really cool.
One last selfish request: I wouldn't expect people to go this far, but if you could include a small (literally just a couple of sentences) explanation as to how any of the cat cast you've chosen relates to the Gatsby character's role it would be awesome. If you don't want to do this though it's absolutely fine.
So, who would be your ideal Catsby cast?
