Jason Bateman Says A 'Bent And Twisted' Story Is Ready For 'Arrested Development' Movie
http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1590059/story.jhtml

Six months after teasing MTV with news that an "Arrested Development" movie was in the very earliest of stages, "Hancock" star Jason Bateman told an assembled crowd Tuesday night that the Bluths were almost certainly heading to the big screen — and boy will it be strange.

"It's typically bent and twisted," Bateman said of the story concocted by series mastermind Mitchell Hurwitz. "He's got a really, really good idea for the movie version that would not be just simply the equivalent of four episodes back to back to back. It's actually something that would be specific to the medium of film."

A bent and twisted script is exactly what devoted fans of the series would hope for and expect. After all, "Arrested Development," which was canceled in February 2006, introduced such topics as the Never Nude, the puppet Franklin Delano Bluth, and "a family friend with only one arm!"

Bateman smiled. "Who thinks up that [stuff]?"

So what's the holdup? Not Bateman, certainly. And not anyone else actually involved in the show, he insisted. It's the Bluths' biggest problem that threatens to delay the film indefinitely: money.

"We all want to do it. All the actors want to do it, the writers want to do it, and the boss wants to do it. And they are working on making a deal, probably as we speak," Bateman said. "But it's a long, sort of drawn-out, complicated business process. 'Arrested Development' is such a specific tone, it doesn't lend itself to mass appeal, as played out by the fact that it's canceled. So it has to be done for a price. They can't spend the money they spent on 'Hancock.'

"So they have to shoot it for a small price, and we have to figure out if we can do it for that price," he continued. "They're working it out, and hopefully we'll be able to know something in the next month."

In the meantime, keep the series alive, Bateman said — even if you do it by accosting him in the streets.

"When people come up to me [to talk about 'Arrested Development'], I'm right there with 'em," he laughed. "There's some narcissism in it!"

Arrested Development Movie "On" According to Jeffery Tambor

For years now movie rumors have left dedicated Arrested Development fans saying, "Come on!". But now it seems the movie is a go.

Former Arrested Development costar Jeffrey Tambor has confirmed published reports that a movie version of the Emmy-winning Fox comedy is in the works.

“After months of speculation, I think we have finally figured out for sure that we are indeed doing an Arrested Development movie," Tambor told EW.com at the premiere of Hellboy II on Sunday. "I am very excited about that. I love that cast and crew and I felt like we had more to say."

The short lived series aired for three years receiving high critical acclaim but didn't do well in the ratings.

Both of those are very recent, with the second one being only a month and a half ago. I can't wait.

 

[블라스]

Oh.
Hell.
Yeah.

 

[Adam Munroe]

Dont get too excited until the money comes through. Someone writing a script and getting actors interested is one thing. Getting funding to make a film version of a cancelled tv show is another.


Saying that, I sure as hell hope this happens.

 

[Watson]

Oh. My. God.

I cannot wait for this. Please let it no longer be a rumour.

 

[블라스]

Let's all start selling our blood and the icky white stuff until we get the money...WHO'S WITH ME??

 

[Batman713]

Perhaps an attic I shall seek...

 

[oakzap425]

Another season put back on, a-la Family Guy, yes.

A movie. No.

wtf?

 

[bullets]

it's all good . i'm excited about this .

 

[Timstuff]

Let's all start selling our blood and the icky white stuff until we get the money...WHO'S WITH ME??

Ways to fund an Arrested Development series:

• Sell defective deep frying devices in developing nations
• Marry a ******ed heiress
• Throw a fundraiser event, and threaten to poison the guests with muffins
• Build a tiny town and show it to Japanese investors (but DO NOT let men in monster suits destroy it)

Any other ideas?

[Batman713]

We could let the idea of Bluthton go through...

Start up a community for single people. 52% of the country is single. That's a market that's been dominated by apartment rentals. Let's take some of that market, I call it Single City!

But how do we filter out the teases?

 

[Adam Munroe]

And lets not forget, theres always money in the banana stand.

We don't let them in.

This goes for the guys too, because sometimes the guys are tapped out. But check your lease, man! Because you're living in *beeep!* City.

*raises hand and waits for high five*

We could always crossdress as british nannies and get some work that way.

 

[Laderlappen]

Its a gift...from God.

 

[Mister Sinister]

Maeby says Ron Howard is directing

 

[Watson]

We could have a bake sale with Arrested Development culinary specialities. Hot Ham Water, mayoeggs, etc.

EDIT: Excellent news about Howard

 

[Adam Munroe]

This is getting closer and closer to becoming a reality, but until Fox (or whomever) actually announces it, Im not gonna get my hopes up.
