Photos: Meet The Cast Of Lifetime's Unauthorized 'Full House' Movie
Ahead of Netflix's Fuller House, Lifetime is jumping on the Full House nostalgia train with The Unauthorized Full House Story. It's exactly what it sounds like: a made-for-TV movie chronicling the drama behind the scenes of the popular sitcom.
With an August premiere date already set, The Unauthorized Full House Story has just revealed its core cast and a couple of first-look photos. Take a peek at the Lifetime Full House movie after the jump.
First, here's the cast:
Brian K. Roberts (Lifetime's En Vogue Christmas) directs from a teleplay by Ron McGee (Rizzoli & Isles). Harvey Kahn (Flowers in the Attic) and Stephen Bulka (The Unauthorized Saved By the Bell Story) serve as executive producers.
And here's the Lifetime Full House movie cast in costume (via People):
It's kind of creepy, isn't it? They look enough like the real, original cast of Full House to trick you from far away, but look nothing like them up course.
Coulier, for his part, finds the whole thing hilarious:

You may recall that Lifetime tried a similar thing last year with another childhood favorite, Saved By the Bell. People kind of hated it. I suppose Lifetime's hope is that our memories are long enough to remember how much we used to love Full House, but short enough that we forgot how much we didn't like The Unauthorized Saved By the Bell Story.
If you're curious, The Unauthorized Full House Story premieres Saturday, August 22, at 8/7c.
Lifetime's Unauthorized film franchise continues this summer with the original movie "The Unauthorized Full House Story." From its start as an unassuming family comedy in 1987 to its eventual wildly popular 192-episode run, the film centers on the rise of the cast of one of America's most beloved family sitcoms and the pressures they faced in balancing their television personas with their real lives.
