Arrested Development movie confirmed

[JuryDuty]

Nice! I'm not sure how "official" Tambor's words are, but it does sound like he knows something...

[Zen Peckinpah]

Excellent news, if true.

Confirmation, this time from Ron Howard.

EXCLUSIVE: Ron Howard On ‘Arrested Development’ Film: ‘It’s Going Ahead’
Published by Eric Ditzian on Monday, February 23, 2009 at 11:59 am.

'Arrested Development'The status of the “Arrested Development” movie has vexed and teased fans of the Emmy-winning Fox show almost since the day it was unjustly canceled. The project’s various rumors — it’s happening! It’s dead! Wait, it’s totally on again! — were more confusing than Tobias Fünke’s sexual preferences. Last month at Sundance, Michael Cera told MTV News that there was no script and he didn’t even know if he’d reprise his role as George Michael Bluth. Then co-star Jeffrey Tambor hit back, claiming Cera was in and the movie would film before the end of the year.

It seemed like every time a cast member opened his mouth, the mystery only deepened. So when we had the chance to speak with executive producer Ron Howard on the red carpet at the Oscars, we asked him to kick us some truth. He did, and now MTV News can exclusively confirm that the “Arrested Development” is happening.

“It’s going ahead,” Howard confirmed.

Last Friday he sat down with series creator Mitch Hurwitz to discus the project. “I had a great meeting with Mitch,” Howard said. “Things are going really well. He’s writing.”

So has Cera signed on? What about the rest of the main cast? And what sort of shenanigans will the Bluth family become embroiled in this time? Give us something, anything!

“We’ve been asked to no longer divulge anything or get into the game of who’s in, who’s out,” Howard told us. “People are going to have to see.”

I'm at the point where I'll believe they're doing the movie when I can finally buy a ticket at the theater.

[Blu Man]

Yes!! I love this show. First day see for me.

[Drexl]

Hopefully they'll get the most memorable characters to make appearances.

Unfortunately though, Steve Ryan (who played the one-armed man) died in 2007, so they won't be learning any new lessons.

Did he, or is this all an elaborate plan by George Bluth to teach us all a lesson?

Ron Howard and Arnette are going to be in San Francisco this weekend at Wondercon talking about their new project. They may talk about this too.

I hate E!, but Kristin says Michael Cera has come around.

If there was ever a TV or movie franchise that had a justification for re-casting any of its actors, AD is it.

I'm just glad everyone of the main cast members is on board. Even if the movie isn't a huge hit, if they can keep it in the vein of the TV show, it'll be well worth enjoying for fans.

It's like Clooney returning to E.R.!

[Lateralus]

That makes my banana stand!

I wonder if Marta will make an appearance. And if so, which of the three actresses will they use? Or will they go with a 4th?

I'd have to place my bet on all three of the actresses showing up at once.

Small tidbit on the movie.

Q: What's the status of the much-discussed "Arrested Development" movie?

A: I can report that it is being written. Mitch Hurwitz is probably halfway through. I would imagine he'll be done in two or three months, and then he'll start trying to schedule it and figure out a start date. He has birthed or rebirthed about nine careers there on that cast. Finding out when we're all going to be free and available to do this movie will probably take a little bit of time. I know that I can't wait to get a look at the script and shoot it because I miss doing it.

[JuryDuty]

Thanks, johnglass. I was just wondering about this the other day. Glad to know it's still a go.

[Michael Corvin]

Since it was bumped, here's the final trailer for that documentary:



Can't find anything about a release date.

[Kory]

Didn't even know they were making a documentary. Awesome.

Crap, we won't see it until the end of next year, if not later.

I don't care how long they take as long as they make it right.

[Meglos]

[RichC2]

Same, I think it's about time for another run through of this series.

I started watching season 3 the other day when I was bored and I found myself laughing hysterically--and STILL discovering comic tidbits I never saw on previous viewings. It really is gold.

I agree.
