-- has landed her own movie deal.

According to Deadline, Grumpy Cat will star in a 'Garfield-like' feature. Garfield was,

of course, the original grumpy cat.

This continues the success of 2012 for Grumpy, a year in which she was named the year's most

influential cat by MSNBC and the year's most important Meme by Mashable.

She's certainly capitalising on her public profile, having already appeared on Today,

Good Morning America, CBS Evening News, and The Soup.

The fame doesn't seem to faze Grumpy Cat, who recently attracted huge crowds at SXSWi.

Her YouTube channel already has over 20 million views and merchandise adorned with her image

can be bought at retail and online.

It's unconfirmed whether Grumpy Cat will play herself in the movie. If it's like the Garfield

movies she'll be rendered with CGI.

Todd Garner of Broken Road Productions, the production house putting things in motion,

says: "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."
