Well someone once said that Justice is Blind but not in this case.

Entirely deserved.

The only down side is that Fox now has to put Simple Life: Astronomers, on hold.

Exclusive! Jason Bateman Confirms Arrested Development Movie Talks
Categories: arrested development  
This just might be the best news we Arrested fans have heard in a very long time.

Jason Bateman has just confirmed to me that the creative minds behind Arrested Development (Mitch Hurwitz and Ron Howard) have put the wheels in motion toward a major motion picture of the Fox TV comedy so many of us adore. I\'m told by insiders that Jason and other Bluth family members have received calls from producers (Hurwitz and Howard) asking if they would be willing to shoot a movie.

"I can confirm that a round of sniffing has started," Bateman says. "Any talk is targeting a poststrike situation, of course. I think, as always, that it\'s a question of whether the people with the money are willing to give our leader, Mitch Hurwitz, what he deserves for his participation. And I can speak for the cast when I say our fingers are crossed."

Jeffrey Tambor also revealed on XM Radio\'s the Ron and Fez Show that he has been approached by Ron Howard to see if he\'s willing to do an Arrested film. (You can hear that interview below.)

For the record, both Jason and Jeffrey\'s answers were: Hells yeah. And I hear from other sources that other castmembers were called and that everyone seems to be very much on board and excited by the prospect.

Insiders also tell me that while creator Mitch Hurwitz does not yet have a script, he has a good, solid understanding of what he\'d like to do for the movie, and Universal is very much interested.

And so it seems that a few good—wait, no, outrageously amazing—things just might come out of this unfortunate writers\' strike, as the creative minds in this town have had time to pause, regroup and think about their dream projects.

And an Arrested movie is a pretty great dream, is it not?

So, let\'s join our crossed fingers with the rest of the cast, shall we?

Further confirmation that this is in the works from Alia Shawkat:

I got a call from Mitchell Hurwitz, the creator, and he said "so have you heard about this movie we\'re supposedly doing?" and I said yes. And he said he was in and it was great. And Jason [Bateman], when he was doing all the Juno press, he basically just talked up [Arrested Development] the movie. He got the publicity going before anything was real. So Mitch talked to Ron Howard, who said he would direct it, and he\'s down. So I think Mitch was like, "I guess I\'ll write it then," and that\'s what I think he\'s doing now. And yes, I\'m involved. I think everyone is.

:thumbsup:  :thumbsup: oooh why not... :thumbsup:

I just started watching this show on Hulu for the past couple weeks... it is addicting, and an amazing show. The movie will be great i\'m sure. Too bad they can\'t get another season going

i just listened to an interview with david cross. regarding the AD movie, he said they were further away than they were a few months ago. however, he also said that everybody was on board and wanted to make it.
