Jeffrey Tambor: 'Arrested Development' movie is on! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

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!

My guess is that it's all about

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.
