We're so close to the premiere of Arrested Development on Netflix that it's almost to the point where the show is the only thing I want to think about or talk about. Fortunately, series creator Mitch Hurwitz and stars Jessica Walter (Lucille) and Jeffrey Tambor (George Sr.) were kind enough to take the time to sit with the press on a conference call and talk about the show's approaching Netflix revival. That's happening this Sunday (May 26), in case you didn't pencil it into your calendar, or whatever it is people do to keep track of dates these days.

A couple more award winners are joining Al Pacino and David Mamet in HBO Film's bio-pic on music icon Phil Spector. The Hollywood Reporter reports that Bette Midler and Jeffrey Tambor have both been cast in the project which will also re-team Pacino with Barry Levinson (who will exec produce here just as he did with You Don't Know Jack, which, won Emmys for basically all involved).
