Summary
- TriStar Pictures has acquired film rights to Trevor Henderson's 'Cartoon Cat'.
- The horror character is described as an ancient entity manifesting from cartoons.
- This follows a recent deal for Henderson's 'Siren Head' with Warner Bros.
Sony's Tri-Star Pictures has acquired the film rights to Trevor Henderson's viral internet horror character, 'Cartoon Cat.' This acquisition represents a significant move for the studio, bringing a popular online creation to the big screen. The deal was made pre-emptively, indicating strong confidence in the property's cinematic potential.
This is the second major film deal for Henderson this month. His previous creation, 'Siren Head,' was recently acquired by Warner Bros. after a competitive bidding process involving multiple studios. That project is being co-written by Zach Cregger and Brian Duffield, with Duffield also set to direct.
'Cartoon Cat' is described as an ancient entity formed from hollow rot. It manifests into reality by using collective human awareness and memories of old cartoons. The character is known for wreaking violent havoc once it appears. The film is being produced by a team including Roy Lee, Steven Schneider, and Scott Glassgold.
More details about the project are expected as development progresses. Representatives for TriStar Pictures have not yet responded to requests for comment on the acquisition.
