Neil deGrasse Tyson Sounds Off On Other Movies

The Secrets Behind Your Favorite Movie SFX

The cats in “Cats”: Without a doubt, the greatest ordeal of my whole career. They always say to never work with children, animals or Dame Judi Dench, and I wish to God I had listened.

Striving for authenticity, she ate only tuna throughout the shoot, pooped in a box and licked herself clean each morning.
