Bluth family lovers, unite! Former Arrested Development co-star Jeffrey Tambor confirmed published reports that a movie version of the Emmy-winning Fox comedy is in the works. “After months of speculation. I think we have finally figured out for sure that we are indeed doing an Arrested Development movie," Tambor told EW.com at the premiere of Hellboy 2 on Sunday. "I am very excited about that. I love that cast and crew and I felt like we had more to say."

The series, which aired for three seasons, starred Jason Bateman, Portia de Rossi, Jessica Walter, Will Arnett and Michael Cera. The single-camera comedy was beloved by critics, but was never a ratings bonanza for Fox. The network canceled the show a year after it won the Emmy award for best comedy.

I don't remember ever having seen this show, but a movie version sounds interesting, plus I love Jason Bateman! Isn't it a shame that critically-acclaimed shows that have less than stellar ratings always seem to get the ax? Makes no sense!:confused: :rolleyes:

My guess is that it's all about :dollar: :dollar: :dollar: :dollar: :dollar: :dollar: :dollar: :dollar: :dollar: :dollar:

I cannot wait.

I'm really excited to see how it goes.

As someone who works in script development I will say that Arrested Development seems like a hard show to adapt to a movie format, but the cast and crew has so much creativity and innovation in them I have high hopes that they can pull it off.
