Mitch Hurwitz’ Deal Closes For ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT: THE MOTION PICTURE??

I still wish Michael Cera hadn't gotten by seppukudkurosawa	Nov 21st, 2008 12:30:31 AM
the Scott Pilgrim role, dagnamnit!
michael cera will do it.. by soup74	Nov 21st, 2008 12:32:16 AM
hes got a good head on his shoulders. I'm pretty damn excited about this.
What are they gonna do with it? by Ironthorman	Nov 21st, 2008 12:33:41 AM
I loved this show. The entire cast was amazing and it was very cleverly written. But where would a film take us. Would it resolve the whole scenario with george Sr.?

Now: This. Next: Hoverboards.
YES YES YES YES YES!!! by Zeegloo	Nov 21st, 2008 12:38:30 AM
This movie will be absolutely PHENOMENAL!! I can't wait!! (Michael Cera BETTER do it. Without this show he would be nothing)
Cera will be in - I'd bet the farm on it by Thrillho77	Nov 21st, 2008 12:43:04 AM
You can't do it without George Michael. You can't do it without ANY of them. One of the few shows where absolutely no one in the principle cast is expendable. I expect copious Barry Zuckercorn, Stan Sitwell, and an appearance from J. Walter Weatherman.
actually.. by soup74	Nov 21st, 2008 12:43:11 AM
people are all worried that michael cera and even jason bateman have become too big of stars, but hell, it's only a good thing if the studios pay them a bit more to exploit their names to get people into the theatres. I want this to be as successful as possible.
I can't believe I didn't use Barry's line... by Thrillho77	Nov 21st, 2008 12:44:50 AM
I'm so happy I could kiss you on the -bleep-!!!
Cera has to. by billypilgrimisunstuck	Nov 21st, 2008 12:46:29 AM
He owes it to Arrested.
Come On! by Lashlarue	Nov 21st, 2008 12:52:43 AM
Do it!
I WILL WANK OFF EVERY PRODUCER ATTATCHED TO THIS FILM by tlsonata	Nov 21st, 2008 12:53:55 AM
If they can get everyone in the cast from George Michael to Jay Walter Weatherman.
(take out that extra T on attached) by tlsonata	Nov 21st, 2008 12:54:46 AM
Damn you firefox. How you mislead me!
BEST PIECE OF MOVIE NEWS EVER!!!! by nickdoll	Nov 21st, 2008 12:56:54 AM
The 2nd coming of Christ (Arrested Development)!
Thrillho77: J. Walter Weatherman would be hard to get by pmlinstrot	Nov 21st, 2008 01:00:33 AM
Seeing as the actor who played him died last year.
Who? by Exasperilious	Nov 21st, 2008 01:03:25 AM
Not who, I meant...her?
Cross is the only mandatory actor IMO by wash	Nov 21st, 2008 01:04:38 AM
It's all about Funke to me.
I'll have to go to the theater in my $6300 suit by rhcp2sweet	Nov 21st, 2008 01:08:25 AM
COME ON!!!!
Bob Loblaw! by woggerman	Nov 21st, 2008 01:16:59 AM
They need to get Scott Baio back too!
pmlinstrot by Thrillho77	Nov 21st, 2008 01:34:59 AM
wow...damn... You have no idea how sad I am to hear that. Michael will have to teach George Michael a lesson a different way...

He could always put it in his brownie...
Get Franklin out of storage... by FilmCritic3000	Nov 21st, 2008 03:08:36 AM
He better make a cameo. "Look at us...crying like a couple of girls." "I'm not crying."
HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT. by crayon	Nov 21st, 2008 03:11:46 AM
Every time Mitch Hurwitz mentioned this I thought he was just blowing smoke up the collective ass of our's. I love the show, but I just can't imagine an executive somewhere--ANYWHERE--saying "This smells like money!" Hell, maybe Brian Fuller will get that Pushing Daisys movie. And next year HBO will produce a new season of Deadwood. Well, maybe the first.
Taste the happy, Michael! by I_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looki ng_for	Nov 21st, 2008 03:58:47 AM
Taste it!
Yay! by JT Kirk	Nov 21st, 2008 04:01:38 AM
I honestly don't know what they'll do with a movie, but I'm there. AD isn't a show I can picture as a movie, but if any sitcom deserved to become a movie, it's this one.
This is the best news Iv by brokentusk	Nov 21st, 2008 04:13:04 AM

... I've ever heard. by brokentusk	Nov 21st, 2008 04:15:16 AM
Man, this website needs an edit function.
STEVE HOLT!!! by SebastianHaff	Nov 21st, 2008 04:38:13 AM
That is all.
just reading all those quotes reminds me... by iamnicksaicnsn	Nov 21st, 2008 04:45:26 AM
how dang good this durned show is. Please, get them all back.
NO TOUCHING! by monolithik	Nov 21st, 2008 04:52:12 AM
...Yourself, over how awesome this is. I just blue myself.
Daddy horny, Michael! by I_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looki ng_for	Nov 21st, 2008 04:53:17 AM
Bring on more "Girls with low self-esteem."
This is Old News by ZooTrain	Nov 21st, 2008 04:53:18 AM
I read about it weeks ago on Bob Loblaw's Law Blog.
BRILLIANT by grievenom	Nov 21st, 2008 04:56:19 AM
The show was brilliant, the movie will be. Better come back, Cera!

Baby, you got a stew goin'! by monolithik	Nov 21st, 2008 05:05:05 AM
I don't get the people who don't see how this could work as a movie. The humor in the series is so layered, I actually think the longer format could serve it better than tv. I wonder if it'll pick up right at the end of the series, with Lucille in prison...

I want to be a pussy see Love Indubitably in Wee Britain.
Check out banner Michael! by Monkey Butler	Nov 21st, 2008 05:23:10 AM
I just want my kids back.
Fuck Michael Cera...... by TheWaqman	Nov 21st, 2008 06:01:37 AM
talentless punk. I hate all those Apatow Jr. kids they all suck. He's probably too bratty to even sign up for the film.
Analrapist by mooseaka	Nov 21st, 2008 06:37:11 AM
Just wanted to write that. This is more exciting than when they announced that Lucas was finally starting work on the Prequels (and hopefully will be a much better result).
Marry me! by mooseaka	Nov 21st, 2008 06:39:52 AM

This and Curb, Best shows ever.
I understand cera's stance on it by myspoonistoobig	Nov 21st, 2008 06:48:26 AM
But it'd be hard to imagine him even considering passing if the script is good. But he's being the political version of all the worst talkbackers -- are they just going to fuck it up? I don't think he actively DOESN'T want to make the movie.
"Okay, who'd like a banger in the mouth?" by Sin86a	Nov 21st, 2008 07:03:50 AM
Best news of the day! (The movie. Not the banger)
Cera would be a douche to pass this up . . . by Nice Marmot	Nov 21st, 2008 07:46:17 AM
. . . specially since he's just doing George Michael, the only character he's capable of, in all of his other movies.
Did i miss a meeting? by I_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looki ng_for	Nov 21st, 2008 07:51:14 AM
When did Cera say he wouldn't do it? Get that punk back in the banana stand where he belongs!
But will Baio be back? by gooseud	Nov 21st, 2008 07:58:38 AM
I'm not sure they can make it without Bob Loblaw's Law Blog. "We are going to find this......HERMANO!!!"
"I've had Pop Pop in the attic" by gooseud	Nov 21st, 2008 07:59:45 AM

Who I want to come back... by The Funketeer	Nov 21st, 2008 09:25:04 AM
Carl Weathers, Barry Zuckercorn, Franklin, and Andy Richter and all his brothers.
