Arrested Development Movie in the Works?

July 12, 2006 Comments

An Arrested Development movie? Maybe so, says Maeby:

TVGuide.com: Do you think there might be an Arrested movie at some point? The final episode implied as much when your character, Maeby, tried to sell the rights to the Bluth story to Ron Howard.
Shawkat: Mitch actually recently told us that there is a good possibility for a movie, and that he's talking to Ron Howard about it.

Since they couldn't even maintain the ratings to support the show, I really doubt anyone's going to finance this movie, but it would be great if it got made. The larger problem stands in that creator Mitch Hurwitz is currently talking to Ron Howard about it. Between pointing out the "irony" of Opie winning an Oscar and assuring that he "could have played Fonzie if he wanted to," Howard's blabbering will keep this movie in arrested development.*

*See what I did there? It's like the title of the show.
