Dec 7 2007Bateman Provides Glimmer of Hope to 'Arrested Development' Fans
Let this interview clip be both the highlight and low point of your day. In it, Jason Bateman claims the possibility of an Arrested Development movie is not dead, but then goes on to say that creator Mitchell Hurtwitz doesn't actually have plans for it; Bateman and the other actors are just trying to talk him into it. It's equivalent to telling me, "That hot girl really likes you, and she'll go home with you as soon as she stops being a lesbian."
Still, though, let me know if any good-looking lesbians are into me. At least it's something.
See the brief interview under the cut.

if there was ever a reason for television to exist, it was for arrested development. i haven't made use of mine since the show went away.
this would make such a great movie - - i think it would work really well. i can watch a whole dvd of any of the three seasons in one sitting and it plays basically like a movie, except with awkward fade outs and fade ins with ron howard filling you in on shit you already know because it just happened less than three seconds ago. that and you hear the theme music every twenty minutes. kinda weird. in fact they should keep that in the movie - - could be a running gag. but i'm not sure mitch hurwitz is into running gags...

A really young looking Hollywood executive told me there was possibility of this movie coming out next year, possibly with Jude Law as a lead.

Nelson Ribeiro - I hope you're kidding.
I do hope for an AD movie, just one with the original cast...this is second on my cancelled-TV-shows-I-wish-they-would-make-into-movies list, which really is only two TV shows long, and number one being Veronica Mars.

HA! Ah, Charlotte. Mr. Ribeiro wasn't kidding. I hear that once filming for The Old Man and the Sea completes, he'll be right on that.
