This kitty oughta be in pictures — like, moving ones. And evidently, Hollywood agrees: EW has confirmed that Grumpy Cat, the pouting pet who instantly became a viral sensation after her photo was posted on Reddit last September, is getting her very own feature film. (A moment of silence for all the struggling, human screenwriters who just found out that they can’t compete with a one-year-old bundle of fur.)
The movie will be a “Garfield-like” tale in which Grumpy Cat — known to her friends as Tardar Sauce — has been granted the power of speech. It’ll be produced by Broken Road, the same company currently working to bring a Medieval Times movie to the big screen. “This started off as a picture of a cat, but rare is an image that evokes that much comedy,” one of the producers told Deadline, which initially reported the story. “You read all of the memes and the comments, and one is funnier than the next. We think we can build a big family comedy around this character.”
