No title has been given to the movie yet but Grumpy cat's rep Al Hassas and manager Ben Lashes have teamed up with Todd Garner and Sean Robins (who had previously made Zookeeper and Jack and Jill) To bring this internet sensation to life.

Not much is known about the movie so far but it has been stated that the movie will be a Live-action film rather than an animated film.

Todd Garner of Broken Road Productions shared his views on the grumpy "2013 meme of the year" cat by stating "This started off as a picture of a cat, but rare is an image that evokes that much comedy.

So what are your thoughts? Are you excited for this movie? Will you see it when it comes out?
