Michael Denis has also booked a role on Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas.
Grumpy Cat – The infamous kitty, with the naturally, but endearing sad looking facial expression, will star in her very own live-action Christmas movie, “Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever,” premiering this coming holiday season on Lifetime. The movie is being filmed in Vancouver.
The Lifetime made-for-TV movie follows a “perpetually overlooked” cat living a lonely life inside a pet shop, until the feline is bought by a young girl that has a strange ability to communicate with her.
The network describes the movie as “a little Home Alone and a little Die Hard,” and will also feature cameos from other famous Internet memes.
The feline rose to internet fame after a photo of her seemingly miffed expression was posted by the owner’s brother on Reddit two years ago.
In the last year and a half, Grumpy Cat, whose real name is Tardar Sauce, has arguably become the most famous cat of all time. The adorable Internet celebrity has appeared in news and television shows around the world.
The cat’s popularity has spawned the book “The Grumpy Guide to Life,” a Grumppuccino coffee beverage and multiple charity and TV appearances. Grumpy Cat was featured in the rose ceremony on The Bachelor. She has numerous merchandising deals and is Friskies official ‘Spokescat.’
