Yes, yes, yes...Bateman confirms talks for Arrested Development movie have started

[Godhumor]

I'm being a little liberal with my title, but I'm an optimist at heart.

From imdb.com

'Arrested Development' Film Planned?


Actor Jason Bateman has confirmed plans are underway for a movie version of cancelled TV sitcom Arrested Development. A rumored meeting between the star and series creator Mitch Hurwitz late last year fuelled speculation a big-screen adaptation of the cult show was in the pipeline. And now the Juno star has confirmed the cast has received calls from executives asking if they would be interested in reviving their roles once the ongoing Hollywood writers strike is over. He tells E! News, "I can confirm that a round of sniffing has started. Any talk is targeting a post-strike 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."

Just moments ago I hopped online to search for ‘Cheeseburger in a Can’ and noticed an email in my inbox. The subject line was “don’t wet yourself”, which I immediately did because it could only mean one thing. Well, one of three things.A) DNA tests have revealed that I in fact am Jessica Alba’s baby’s daddy.B) Kevin Costner was coming to Berkeley to perform his one-man play, I Am Costner.C) Arrested Development, the best half-hour television show of all time, is returning in the form of a full-length feature film.Well luckily for all involved, the subject line referred to a Page Six report that plans are most definitely in motion to bring Arrested Development to the big screen!

…Update: E! Online’s “Watch with Kristin” Blog has been so gracious as to get confirmation from Development star Jason Bateman. Bateman said that he “can confirm that a round of sniffing around has started.”

3. Still early in the go to get my hopes up, but.....

My hopes are still up!

A friend and I are currently in the process of planning an Arrested Development marathon for our friends and family who haven't seen it. The food is AD themed. Corn Balls, Candy Beans, Ice Cream sandwiches, and Bluth Frozen Bananas. Oh, and we'll be getting a stew goin'

I'm looking forward to it more I probably should, but damn I miss that show.

May I take this opportunity to suggest Michael Cera's web show to my fellow AD fanatics? Maybe you've all already seen it. REALLY funny stuff.
