Aubrey Plaza will be the maudlin moggy for a TV movie
Because we live in an age of miracles and also things like this, pretty much anything can become a film. Or in this case, a TV movie… Yes, Grumpy Cat, the adorably angry and often depressed feline has spawned a multimedia franchise that covers books, clothing and stationery and is now the basis for a Lifetime channel TV movie with Aubrey Plaza voicing the star.
There was talk back in May of a feature film, which is still in development via Jack And Jill producers Todd Garner and Sean Robbins, but this is something different. It’s a Xmas-set project, in fact, called Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever. The plot – yes, there will be one – finds the feline one as a constantly overlooked pet store cat who meets a 12-year-old girl called Chrystal and makes her life a living nightmare of scowling put-downs bonds with her.
For anyone unsure about the cat in question, Grumpy (real name: Tardar Sauce) has been an internet star for a couple of years now and is clearly ready to take the world by storm. Even if she’s probably sick of all the attention. The TV movie will hit US screens on November 29 and, presumably, not long after that on Lifetime’s UK branch.
