Attention All Never-Nudes: Get Your Hopes Up For Arrested Movie!!
November 14, 2008 by Kath Skerry
Wow – what a fun, sexy time for Arrested fans: Collider.com is reporting, with back up rock solid evidence, that the long anticipated Arrested Development movie is finally happening!
For months us AD fans have been gathering scraps of news of the movie, only to be disappointed by counter reports that it was dead in the water. Recently we heard that the movie was a no-go because Michael Cera, who played George Michael Bluth on the show, was too much of a big-shot movie star (Superbad, Juno, Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist) to take time to revisit the past.
Well, it looks like the scheduling gods have shifted some things around on Cera’s calendar (or the rumour was bogus to begin with) because in an interview with Jeffrey Tambor (George Bluth Sr./Uncle Father Oscar), we learn that the movie is most definitely happening and that the creator, writer and producer Mitch Hurwitz has made all of the requisite calls to the cast to inform them of their new jobs.
In the interview, Tambor tells fans that they can finally feel safe and get their hopes up once and for all. I can’t tell you how excited I am about this news! Of course, since I’ve been burned before I’ll probably remain a little guarded until they start production, but things are looking very, very good.
So, GMMR readers, does this make you excited? Are you willing to let yourself believe, or do you think that would be a huge mistake? Which character(s) are you most excited to see again?

by far, i’m most looking forward to the return of GOB!!! i love Will Arnett, and his work in other films/tv is great, but this was the character that made me love the guy.
bring on the AD movie……… with club sauce!
Counting down the hours…..
😀
G.O.B.! No, Buster! No, Lucille! It’s too hard to choose. I can’t imagine how they’ll do a movie, but I’m so excited it doesn’t even matter. I want the Bluths to live on and on and on…
oh man that would be beyond cool!!
I honestly can’t decide either – I think Buster will always be my favourite, but I love George Michael, G.O.B., Lucille, Tobias the Analrapist, everyone! Even Ann/Egg….wait – who?
Plus, Jason Bateman is an awesome sandwich with club sauce – it’s never a bad thing when he’s around.
AH! Yes! Thanks for the info! And Nicole, this was hands down a sweet post. Thanks for all the fun one-liners. And George Michael (not the singer/songwriter) had best represent!
Yay! I’m beyond ecstatic for the movie!!! I can’t wait for them to get this going! It just makes me want to bust out my AD box sets and watch them over again, ha ha 🙂
One of the funniest, laugh-out-loud show in the past 10 years. I loooove this show! Can’t wait to tell my hubby. We never ever go to the movies, but we may take out a loan to pay our way in to see it! I’ll have to check our credit rating….
I am super psyched. Buster! Yay!
Does Portia de Rossi even done anything (other than marry Ellen) since the show ended?
