"Because he's my butler!"

So I just heard elsewhere that Mitch Hurwitz has the entire main cast at some get together of The New Yorker Fest right now, and he said there's going to be a standalone, single season of AD of approx 9-10 episodes, each one focusing on an individual character, wherein the final one the whole family reunites, and that'll be the primer for the film. He's not completely finished the screenplay yet, but is talking about a start date of next summer. But I still don't know about an official greenlight, so I'm still skeptical.

Will Arnett just tweeted the following.

I'm peeing with @batemanjason at the moment..and we can confirm that we are going to make new AD eps and a movie

Wow.

Jason Bateman on twitter


It's true. We will do 10 episodes and the movie. Probably shoot them all together next summer for a release in early '13. VERY excited!

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I wonder what this was, well other than a "buster video"

also, I am going to try not to get wrapped up in the "OMG IT WAS SO PERFECT SHOULD IT EVEN COME BACK!?" nonsense that is going to be inevitable. More of something I truly loved, and really entertained me, is something I am going to look forward to- not debate.

I can say without any fear of falling into hyperbole that this will be absolutely the best thing ever to happen in the entire history of the universe.

awesome news

Hot damn!

Arrested Development Movie AND Miniseries!
Sunday, October 2nd, 2011 at 6:34 pm Category: Movies, News, Television
Here is some super awesome Sunday night news that is going to make the rest of your week… The New Yorker Festival was this weekend, and Mitch Hurwitz was there delivering some wonderful news which any Arrested Development fan would love to hear. After five years and several rumors, Hurwitz confirmed Sunday that not only is there an Arrested Development movie in the works, but also a 10 part miniseries! The miniseries will focus on catching the audience up on where each character has been and what they’ve been up to for the past five years. After the miniseries is complete there will be a movie that brings everyone’s favorite dysfunctional family back together on the big screen.

Since the cancellation of the series in 2006, there have been a number of rumors floating around about a forthcoming Arrested movie, none of which were officially confirmed until today. Hurwitz explained that a lot of the hold up came from the fact that they did not completely own the rights to the franchise. Despite that fact, Hurwitz has been busy writing a screenplay for the series since it’s end in the hopes that he would be able to put it to use someday.

I’m glad that the rumor has been confirmed by both Mitch Hurwitz and Jason Bateman. Bateman who plays the lead role of Michael Bluth, Tweeted Sunday afternoon “It’s true. We will do 10 episodes and the movie. Probably shoot them all together next summer for a release in early ’13. VERY excited!”. As I HUGE fan of the show, I couldn’t be happier about this news. I will be sure to keep you posted on the details as they come in.

that sure would be something

Prediction: this will not be as funny as the original series. Furthermore and regardless of immediate reaction, people will be way disappointed and cranky about it....even though it's still pretty fucking funny....and most all of the commenting on it after the fact will be bitchy.

everything will arnett is gold

thing is it was still enjoyable for me to watch, i just love him so much

up all night is pretty awful and will be cancelled but i watch it, too
