HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Miranda Cosgrove is adding to her already busy schedule.
The 16-year-old star of Nickelodeon’s “iCarly” will perform “Raining Sunshine” for the end credits of the upcoming animated film “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.“
“We couldn’t be more excited,” said Lia Vollack, president of worldwide music for Sony Pictures Entertainment. “She’s an amazing artist who brings her smart, fresh style to our film.”
The Sony Pictures release, based on the popular children’s book, focuses on a town where food falls from the sky like rain. Bill Hader will voice Flint Lockwood, a young inventor who dreams of creating something that will improve everyone’s life. Anna Faris, meanwhile, takes on the role of Sam Sparks, a weathergirl covering the phenomenon who hides her intelligence behind a perky exterior.
Other stars lending their voice to the film, which arrives in theaters on Sept. 18, include James Caan, Andy Samberg, Bruce Campbell, Mr. T and Neil Patrick Harris.
Cosgrove is up for a 2009 Teen Choice Award for Choice TV Actress. Her hit series, “iCarly,” was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Children’s Program.
In addition to her busy acting schedule, Cosgrove is also signed to Sony’s Columbia Records. The teen sensation is currently working on her first solo album.
