aricandover Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Exclusive! Jason Bateman Confirms Arrested Development Movie Talks Exclusive! Jason Bateman Confirms Arrested Development Movie TalksBy Kristin Dos Santos Fri Feb 1, 5:59 PM PST This just might be the best news we Arrested fans have heard in a very long time.

Jeffrey Tambor also revealed on XM Radio's the Ron and Fez Show that he has been approached by Ron Howard to see if he's willing to do an Arrested film. (You can hear that interview below.)

And I hear from other sources that other castmembers were called and that everyone seems to be very much on board and excited by the prospect. Insiders also tell me that while creator Mitch Hurwitz does not yet have a script, he has a good, solid understanding of what he'd like to do for the movie, and Universal is very much interested. And so it seems that a few good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pnêyu Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 There's a Juno promotional clip out there somewhere with Jason Bateman and Michael Cera where Jason jokingly says something to the effect of they need to find a time where Michael is available. Regardless, I'm prepping my chicken dance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Duck-Billed Catechist Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 It's probably worth mentioning that all the episodes are available for free on hulu.com. It's pretty painless and you probably have to endure 2 minutes worth of ads for every episode. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
