We don’t know how she’ll sign the contract (opposable thumbs, anyone?), but it looks as if everyone’s favourite Internet meme is about to get a film deal. Grumpy Cat aka Tardar Sauce is in line to star in a GARFIELD-esque family comedy, according to reports.
Broken Road’s Todd Garner and Sean Robbins have created a package involving the adventures of Tardar, with the frowning feline given the power of speech. I imagine the character will be recreated through animation, much like the GARFIELD films, because I don’t see her being very much up for acting.
Does this news really come as much of a surprise? The cat has featured on several American TV shows including Good Morning America, Anderson Cooper Live and Today. Garner has said:
“This started off as a picture of a cat, but rare is an image that evokes that much comedy. 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.”
If he says so! Are you excited for the Grumpy Cat movie? Let us know.
