Shortly after the show’s cancellation, Arrested Development movie rumors were plentiful. They’ve since dried up, after rather adamant denials from everyone who would have to be involved, and growing disinterest from the general public in a less-than popular, long-since cancelled television series. Well not so fast, maybe Arrested Development isn’t as dead as it seems.
The guys at the ReelzChannel recently tackled AD star Jason Bateman out promoting his new movie Juno and got him to reveal that an Arrested Development movie “is certainly on the table.” Whose table or which table or when table they don’t say, I mean really, “on the table” could mean anything. Does “on the table” just mean it’s his pie in the sky dream to do one, or does it mean that somewhere out there Hollywood moguls are actually plotting to make this thing? Hard to say.
Meanwhile, AD costar Michael Cera is also in Juno, and so they cornered him and claim they got him to admit he’d be up for an Arrested Development movie, though apparently he revealed no special knowledge of whether or not one is happening, which makes the whole Bateman thing a little shakier. Reelz says all this adds up to an Arrested Development movie being “very much a real possibility” but I’m not sure there’s enough here to warrant that kind of hope. But then I’m no Arrested Development fan. I’ll leave it up to you Bluthheads to judge for yourselves.

Great about the movie rumors and all, sir...but the real question here is, how can you not be an Arrested Development fan? The writing, acting, and directing are all just at a superb level compared to any other comedy i've seen on tv, (and I've seen a lot of TV.) Plus to this day, the DVD sales continue to be strong, which is pretty remarkable. The issue here is that FOX didn't give the show a chance, with constantly changing the show's timeslot, not to mention given how FOX marketed the show, I don't know how it would make ANYONE want to watch it. The DVDs, I think, have spawned a lot more fans than when the show was broadcast on the air.
yep agreed guys, AD is the greatest. Nice news of a possible movie i just wish more people got into it so the series never ended, or ended so early.
I wish i had 10+ series of ad in my collection, i watch all 3 every couple of months and i always want more. With all the crap on tv, i cant believe this show didnt make it. I think its because to average people the characters seemed stupid, they just dont get it and as a result dont find it funny. Of course the timeslots didnt help.
An AD movie would really be a dream come true. Ever since watching
the show about 6 months ago I've watched it countless times (literally) and its possible rebirth has been at the forefront of my mind ever since. I think what would be a good idea for creating 'buzz' around the movie/reunion would be some sort of youtube type video response. If every fan posted a 3 minute video about why the world needs AD back that would really have people taking notice.
