On June 11th, news was spread that the grumpiest cat to ever become an internet meme would be starring in her own Lifetime movie. “A Grumpy Cat Lifetime Movie Is Really Happening,” read the Huffington Post’s headline.
According to a Hollywood Reporter, the Internet sensation will play an overlooked pet-store cat. An added twist is that there is a 12-year-old girl who can communicate with her.
The live-action movie is named “Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever,” and there will be a human to voice the feline star.
Perhaps the funniest part of the whole situation is that Tim Hill (left), the writer and producer of both Spongebob Squarepants and Rocko’s Modern Life will be writing the script for the film. Rocko’s Modern Life, in my opinion, was a very intelligent cartoon with a lot of well placed adult humor. Spongebob is spongebob. Let’s hope that ol’ Tim has still got the goods.
With her own agent, Grumpy’s YouTube videos have racked up millions of hits. She has T-shirts, calendars, gift wrap and a best-selling book available in 14 languages.
So check this out. In case you didn’t catch it, The J1 Staff got to meet grumpy cat in person about two weeks ago. Enjoy the footage below!
