Bateman Joins Emporium
February 7, 2006 Comments
Jason Bateman now is set to star alongside Natalie Portman and Dustin Hoffman in Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. The film, written and directed by Zach Helm, focused on a depressed toy store employee (Portman) who is left the store upon the owner's death, with Bateman playing an accountant hired to appraise the establishment. This is the first feature role for Bateman since Fox failed to renew Arrested Development, opening up his schedule for other projects. With Bateman taking on larger roles, it has improved the chances for me to see the trilogy-ending sequel I've been waiting nearly twenty years for: Adult Wolf.
