"Arrested Development" Movie Buzz
An interview that Jason Bateman gave to Britain's Times Online while promoting his role in the Will Smith action flick "Hancock" has, ironically enough, reignited buzz about an "Arrested Development" movie. The Times reports, presumably via Bateman, that the movie will be shot in 2009. “When it was on TV, if you missed one word the whole third act could be blown for you," Bateman said. "And TV is a different experience. You come home and you've got to finish a call so you miss the first ten minutes or you get snacky and you go to the fridge and you miss another two minutes, so it's a different experience to film.”
He also credited the show with his career resurgence: “I owe my adult success to the show. America didn't really watch it but people in LA did and those are the ones who hire us. It gave me an entrance to movies - which was lucky because I had somewhat exhausted my welcome in TV.”
YES! YES YESSSS!!!!!
