Internet sensation “Grumpy Cat,” a sourpuss feline known only to her owners as Tarder Sauce, has reportedly scored a movie deal.
Grumpy Cat’s agent, Ben Lashes, sealed the deal with Broken Road Productions, responsible for “Jack and Jill,” “Zookeeper,” and “Paul Blart Mall Cop.”
The proposed film has been described as “a ’Garfield’-like feature film” and that the disgruntled kitty will be able to speak in the picture, Yahoo reports.
Grumpy Cat was voted Meme of the Year at the 2013 Webby Awards and was also named the “Queen of Social Media” at the South by Southwest Festival. She also has a forthcoming book, subtitled “Disgruntled Tips and Activities Designed to Put a Frown on Your Face.”
