Arrested Development: the movie

Hey all,

It's official. There will be an Arrested Development movie with the entire original cast. This is old news, but I'm still excited for the event. Mitch Hurwitz, who created the show, and Jim Vallely, a writer and executive producer, are currently working on the script. Reports suggest that they are about half-way done. Originally, there was some dispute because Michael Cera did not sign onto the production immediately; honestly, I don't blame him. This project may not have moved anywhere and wanting a script is a reasonable response for a budding Hollywood star. Hopefully, it will not be in development hell or (yeah, I'm going there) arrested development. According to imdb.com, it's slated for a release in 2011. However, Mitch Hurwitz has said that it will not be an expensive production. This has left some fans worried, but, if you assume that they spent about 3 million dollars per episode, they could make a pretty good movie for 20 or 25 million dollars. With Hurwitz and Vallely at the wheel, I think the movie will be just as good as any of the episodes. Personally, I can't wait for the Bluth family to be back, and, hopefully, there will be an appearance by Barry Zuckercorn, Ann Veal, Franklin Delano Bluth, and many others from the show.
