Arrested Development: New TV episodes AND Movie--confirmed by writer and cast!

[Rastapopoulos]

Check it out:

So, Mr. Hurwitz said, “We’re trying to do a limited-run series into the movie.” After a wave of excited applause died down, he continued, “We’re basically hoping to do nine or 10 episodes, with almost one character per episode.”

The first episode, he said, could focus on Buster Bluth, the deeply neurotic brother played by Tony Hale. “The latest joke we have,” Mr. Hurwitz said, “is that it’s Cambridge, Mass., and there’s all these scientists in lab coats and they’re waiting for somebody. Buster comes through the door in a white lab coat – ‘Let’s begin’ – and they say, ‘Oh, no, you don’t get to wear the lab coat. We’re experimenting on you.’ ”

Assuming Mr. Hurwitz and his “Arrested Development” confederates are not performing their own experiment on their fan base, he said he was about halfway through a screenplay with his co-writers Jim Vallely and Dean Lorey, but did not specify a studio for either the movie or television components, or a network that might broadcast the new episodes. The project, he said, “requires studios to work together that don’t typically work together, film and TV.”

Mr. Bateman, who played Michael Bluth, the lone, sane member of the family, said: “There’s business left to be done, but creatively we are all on board and have a very specific plan about how it would come out and what we would do and when we would shoot it. I think we’re targeting next summer to shoot it.”

Arrested Development is BACK!!!

My favorite Show ever!!! :MARIS61:

And now the story of a family that was on a show that got unjustly cancelled, but is now coming back for a 10-episode season and a feature length film. This is Arrested Development.

That’s right, the Bluths are back and ready to amaze us all, and this time it’s not a rumor. Over the weekend Mitchell Hurwitz and the entire cast sat down on a panel at the New Yorker Festival. Nobody thought much of it due to persistent delays in the film that has been in talks ever since the show was cancelled back in 2006.

The show will air on Showtime, the network that was supposedly going to save the cult hit immediately after its cancellation, but backed out. The premium cable network will team with Netflix to release the limited run season next fall.

Bought this show on dvd several years ago, love it. Hope it doesn't turn out like Family Guy did after it came back after being canceled.
