‘Cartoon Cat’ – Trevor Henderson’s Viral Art Getting a Horror Film Adaptation from TriStar Pictures
Trevor Henderson’s viral artwork is all the rage in the wake of Backrooms changing the game for internet-created horror, with his creation Siren Head getting a feature film adaptation from Warner Bros. Deadline now reports that Henderson’s Cartoon Cat artwork is also getting a film adaptation, with Sony’s TriStar Pictures picking up the feature film rights.
Producers on board for the Cartoon Cat movie include Roy Lee, Steven Schneider, Scott Glassgold, and J. Todd Harris, along with Thomas Pettinelli and Marc Marcum.
Deadline notes in tonight’s report, “TriStar is said to be looking to hit the ground running on the filmmaker search to bring Cartoon Cat to life. The menacing cat is described as an ancient hollow rot that uses the collective human awareness and memories of old cartoons as a passageway to manifest into our reality – and wreak violent havoc.”
“Nicole Brown and Malcolm Gray of Tri-Star are responsible for wrangling the evil cat and will oversee its fast-tracked development,” Deadline’s exclusive report continues.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting have been big fans of Trevor’s artwork for many years now, with his podcast Mayfair Watchers Society living on our BloodyFM Podcast Network.
