Ok, so I know the above post says I’m hanging up my cleats, but I had to break this news to you all:
I have it confirmed from a reliable source that the long-gestating Arrested Development movie is now a go! With creator Mitch Hurwitz, executive producer Ron Howard, distributor Fox Searchlight, and the whole cast already on-board, the project has been waiting for its most high profile member, Michael Cera (that’s right; little George Michael is now the most high profile of all those crazy adult comics) to accept a deal.
And now, that moment has arrived! Michael Cera has officially committed to doing the movie. I expect that the wheels will start turning very quickly to get this project going, as there are so many people involved, all of whom are involved in various other projects (my favorite: Tony Hale as an android in the upcoming Fox deep space comedy pilot Boldy Going Nowhere from Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton and Rob McElhenney of It’s Always Sunny…).
Start celebrating now! Bust out the unlimited juice, but leave your kids at home — a Bluth family function is no place for children.
