Grumpy Cat finally has a reason to be less grumpy. The feline meme sensation’s people are in talks with a movie studio to make a Grumpy Cat movie.
Broken Road is in talks with Grumpy Cat’s people (yes, her people) to “produce and assemble a package for a Garfield-like feature film with the famous frowning feline at the center,” according to Deadline.
The studio confirmed the news, with one of its owners telling Deadline, “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.”
The Grumpy Cat movie is only in the planning stages, and it will only move forward if they come up with a plan that they believe can be a hit.
Grumpy Cat, like other Hollywood sensations that were born online, could eventually become a full fledged Hollywood star. The cat – who’s appeal are memes that express disappointment – has her permanently grumpy face due to feline dwarfism.
We think a movie centered around Grumpy Cat is a great idea because this kitty could become the younger generation’s Garfield. We can only imagine the cast of characters Grumpy Cat will surround herself with in the movie. Perhaps she will help create more internet sensations. Grumpy Dog? Grumpy Baby Cat? The possibilities are endless!
