I couldn't find a thread for the upcoming arrested develoopemt movie so i decided to start one
Arrested Development Movie Official Thread
You probably couldn't find a thread because there's no indication or announcement yet that Hurwitz and company will actually make it. Bateman and Tambor have recently both publicly been saying that there's still hope, that it's not completely dead...but that's a ways off from pre-production or a greenlight.
But thanks!
But thanks!

And while the Bluth clan seems like a veritable goldmine of comic possibilities, I do think think they had nearly mined it dry after fifty or so episodes. Also, I don't know if the humor in AD would even translate to the big screen. A lot of the funny was derived from seeing how far they could go on network television, with bleeps and Tobias' homo-erotic puns and whatnot. Every episode of the show moved at a breakneck pace and I don't know if they would be able to keep that up for a whole movie, either. For something that worked as well as AD, you've got to be careful about mucking about with the formula.

I'm still hearing that Cera is hesitating on doing the movie.

...but seriously why would he not want to bring back AD? Chef makes a good point about the show's frenetic pace that wouldn't translate well to the big screen but at worst it'll be an overly long episode of AD...and any episode is a good a episode IMO.p.s. Sorry for the disparaging remark towards Cera. I still love him.

HAHA Judas that's so funny
I for one want more arrested development no matter what it is, if it's bad i'll just ignore it altogether it won't 'ruin' anything for me and if it's good well yay! nothing to lose...for me. Cera better ****ing do it though
i can't tell you how many times i've quoted that.

Well, I don't think any of it's quite official yet, but from the sound of things, yeah, Mitchell Hurwitz will be involved. The movie may or may not get made, but I don't think there's any chance of it getting made without him.

The good news continues to pile up; Ron Howard sounded awfully optimistic about the possibility of an AD flick on the red carpet last night. Better still, he said he couldn't say too much about it, which I think is probably a good sign.
For the first time, I feel genuinely convinced that this'll go forward.

aw righteous!
i hope this does happen! definitely a "Brilliant but Canceled" series. why could they not pull a Family Guy and come back to Fox!? maybe this movie will help my dream come true!
also if Ron Howard does direct (like imdb states). that would be pretty schweet!
does look like Cera is a lock, so the wheels are churning
wheels can totally churn

Sweet, glad to hear that the movie is in the works. They better have a big role for the best character in the series, G.O.B.!!
