In an interview with MTV's Movies Blog, Jason "Michael Bluth" Bateman says people are still talking about
the possibility of an Arrested Development movie. Or similar venture:
“We would all love to get back together and maybe do something with
the show in the future,” the former (and possibly future) Michael Bluth
said during the interview, revealing that talks are still alive. “But I
don’t know when — or how — that would happen.”
“Maybe it could be as a movie or something,” Bateman reasoned,
saying that the emergence of “Superbad” star [Michael] Cera — and improv comedies
in general — have created a more welcoming environment for the
dysfunctional clan. “We’ll see. We’ll let the adults figure it out.”
This is all coming as
Juno hits the film-fest circuit.
Juno includes a mini-Bluth reunion, as it stars both Bateman and Cera.
Let's not get too excited, though, since series creator Mitchell Hurwitz hasn't said anything about it yet. But if Bateman says it's a possibility, then it's the best sign we've had since the show ended that it could become a reality.
