A little while ago (a few months, that is) Jason Bateman hinted that an Arrested Development move was in the works, based on the critically acclaimed but ratings-challenged TV show of the same name (MTV). And it wasn’t just an “I’ve been talking with some people about the possibility” kind of a thing, but a “Michael Hurwitz has a story and all the actors have agreed to do it” kind of thing, like “just waiting on scheduling.” But the National Post just released an interview with Michael Cera (who played Jason Bateman’s son) for his upcoming comedy, Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist, where he denies any knowledge of an Arrested Development movie, and, in fact, sounds downright unenthusiastic about the possibility. He says “I don't think I would want to see a movie of the series if I was a fan, anyway, [...] and I don't really see a need for it if you can get the three seasons on DVD” (National Post).
Well, I don’t know about other fans, but I’d line up right now for an Arrested Development movie. Where is the faith, Michael Cera? I know that the show was on the verge of cancellation for its entire three season run, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some very dedicated—and rabid—fans out there wanting more. In fact, I don’t know any other type of Arrested Development fan but the rabid and obsessed. If done right, as Bateman hints to in the MTV interview mentioned above, an Arrested Development movie might bring joy to millions of fans whose loss of the Bluth family has left their daily lives dull and depressing.
