Missing Movie

"Charlie Brown...."

Oh Michael...I love when you're saying things like these about the movie :

Oh "Arrested Development" movie. You wicked temptress. One minute, you're happening. Then you're not. Then you're maybe happening, but somewhere far down the road. Then that ship has maybe sailed, but then it pulls into port again. So how about now? Are we there yet? Soon enough, says star Michael Cera...

"I'm pretty sure it'll happen, I just don't know when," the actor told MTV at a press junket for "Youth in Revolt," which hits theaters on January 8. "I think sometime next year, hopefully, we'll be shooting," he said, adding quickly once again, "I hope." Encouraging words, despite the qualifiers.

You can't really blame the guy for being cautious. I would guess that he hears the words "Arrested Development" in nearly every interview he sits down for. An accidentally chosen phrase could be blown totally out of proportion. A phrase like "I think sometime next year," in fact. "But he promised!!!" we fans will say.

Looking at the legion of fans who are still clamoring for more of the Bluth clan's antics, it's easy to see how "Arrested Development"'s cancellation accounts for one of the big fumbles in TV history. It's good to hear Cera staying so positive about the possibility of this movie finally pushing forward in the coming year.

Are you willing to accept Cera's words at face value, and continue believing that an "Arrested Development" movie will happen in the next year or two? Have you abandoned all hope?

"Maeby a movie ?!"

This Is It !
Now we have the official declaration of Mitchell Hurwitz about the movie, he's directing it.
Right now the AD Movie is officially launched, so I'm going to the hospital bar to celebrate it...

At this point the Arrested Development bit has been utterly destroyed from the sheer volume of people constantly chomping at it, hoping they'll sink their teeth into some fresh meat and sate their hunger for news. Well today, my friends, you'll get a nice hard confirmation of some directorial rumors and a sneak peek about what you might see in the film , straight from series writer Mitch Hurwitz.


The Austin Film Festival recently took place and thanks to the gents over at Austin 360 they've provided in-depth detail about the “Art of Storytelling” panel at which Hurwitz and series executive producer and narrator Ron Howard spoke.


Confirming everyone's suspicions, Hurwitz dropped the bomb that he is in fact hammering out a script for the film right now, and when the time comes he'll be the one in the director's chair. PHEW! Arrested Development faithful such as myself have been a little bit worried that the project would go to someone else with not as much stake in the franchise, but thankfully it will be in good hands and the intertubes can breathe a sigh of relief.


He went on to tell us to expect a heavy jail presence in the film, and that he will include a reference to TARP money as a bit of a jab of the film industry for taking so long to make films that are socially relevant. Who will be in prison, we don't know, but expect it not to be George Sr.


It's an incredibly small bit of news, but knowing that Hurwitz knows where he's going instills quite a lot of hope. We'll be keeping a sharp eye open for anything else to come out of the A.D. camp in the coming months.
