Arrested Development Movie Coming Soon?

Next time, on Arrested Development?

Julie brought this to my attention yesterday, but it seems like plans are starting to come together for an Arrested Development movie. Granted, we’ve heard this for a while now, and it’s been a tease, but this would be awesome. Keep your fingers crossed.

Here’s what Jason Bateman had to say about it:

“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. 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 [...] So they have to shoot it for a small price, and we have to figure out if we can do it for that price. They’re working it out, and hopefully we’ll be able to know something in the next month.”

Jeffrey Tambor, George Bluth on the show, has also hinted in recent weeks that an agreement may be near to shoot the movie.

Keith Olbermann also had a segment on his show this week with this beautiful news:

Let this come true, please.
