Feb 25 2009Alright, So We're Really Doing 'Arrested Development: The Movie'?
That's what they're saying. From MTV:
MTV News can exclusively confirm that the “Arrested Development” is happening.“It’s going ahead,” Howard confirmed.
“We’ve been asked to no longer divulge anything or get into the game of who’s in, who’s out,” Howard told us. “People are going to have to see.”
And from E! (thanks, Lindsay):
Inside sources close to the negotiations of the upcoming Arrested Development movie tell me that Superbad and Juno star (and before that, hello, George-Michael Bluth!) Michael Cera has finally agreed to do the feature film project.
It's kind of unfulfilling at this point, isn't it? That's always the danger of stretching a will-they-or-won't-they romance for too long (the romance being between me and an Arrested Development movie). I've been on the edge of "they've got to do it... but maybe they're not, but it seems like they are" for such a long time that I'm numb. At least until I see the first on-set shot of a blue David Cross barely visible in front of a blue screen. Then I'll probably be in giddy country.

Fuck this. They've burned me too many times. I'll believe it when I see it.

I'm afraid I just blue myself.

I bet this ends up like Reno 911, just a regular episode that they stretched to and hour and a half long.

Yay Cera's parents woke him the hell up.

Good. Maybe the AD fans will shut up about it then.

I love how the photo above is so obviously in reference to a bummed out charlie Brown.

The buildups and letdowns of the arrested movie have been discouraging to say the least. I will believe the movie is a go ahead when I see it in theaters. Michael Cera went as far as saying he was going to put the imaginary script in his shredder.

it'd be funny if cera decided that this would be the movie where he would finally "stretch his wings" as an actor and NOT play an awkward, slightly aloof teenager.
