Arrested Development Movie Inches Closer to Reality
Series creator Mitch Hurwitz says a deal is "more or less in place," while teen-film star Michael Cera's involvement continues to be a mystery.
For fans of the short-lived comedy, Mitch Hurwitz [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrested_Development_(TV_series)] is indeed seriously considering an Arrested Development movie.
"We want to do it," said Hurwitz, promoting his new animated series Sit Down, Shut Up to the press. "We have a deal more or less in place from Fox Searchlight, and we're kind of getting all the actors on board." E! Online [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004715/], "For once and for all, the Arrested Development movie is happening!"
Fans of the series, however, aren't celebrating just yet as series mainstay, Juno [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0148418/], has been quite busy as of late, though that hasn't stopped a large number of fans from expressing their frustration with his silence on the matter.
"He's certainly not said that he won't do it," told Silver Spoons [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000867/]. "I think Michael is clearly the guy that has come out of Arrested Development with a very big plate, so I think he's trying to really give some responsible thought to what makes sense for him to do with his career. The guy is 20 years old and I'm sure he doesn't want to screw up this opportunity."
From the sounds of it, it seems as though Hurwitz plans to get the Bluth family to the big screen, with or without Michael Cera, joking that he'd even shoot a prequel starring a CG version of the star as an 8-year-old.
Considering just how important every member of the Arrested Development cast is to the overall quality, it's difficult to say just how damaging a movie would be without the contributions of Michael Cera as the cousin-loving teen, George Michael. Does his involvement, or lack of affect your will to see an Arrested Development movie? For those who have yet to experience the tragically cancelled comedy, the entire series is available for free on Hulu [http://www.hulu.com/arrested-development], though regional restrictions may apply.
