Arrested Development Movie Kinda Confirmed

On yesterday’s Countdown show on MSNBC, Jason Bateman was a guest, plugging his new flick “Hancock“. Host of Countdown Keith Olbermann seemed a little obsessed with what Will Smith is like, though he does profess to be a huge fan of Arrested Development (probably this mikl’s favorite show of all time).

Another Arrested Development star makes a surprise appearance as well–you just watch the clip to find out who it is. In the process Olbermann asks them about the much rumored Arrested Development movie, which Bateman essentially confirms is in the works, and that the “numbers” are being worked on. That’s a very exciting prospect for all us Bluth fans

To complete the tribute to Arrested D, I’d like to say what I always say about that show: watching it is like getting the shit beaten out of you with comedy. Comedo-Masochists everywhere, unite!

You can watch clips and whole episodes of the show on Hulu. Here’s a taste…

I *so* hope this happens. Save Our Bluths! (psst, you can skip to ~3:00 in the video for the AD part). They really should think about having a tape recorder and just listening to themselves at the end of the day…

Super yay! Which reminds me, Mikl, I’m half way through your box set. Thanks for the loan. You can borrow my Sid and Marty Croft set when I buy it.

I hope this happens as well, the show didn’t really last long enough. But what shows do these days?

Loved, deeply miss AD. (Liza was robbed of an Emmy for her guest appearance on that show.)

I’ve had a crappy crappy day, and if this is indeed true, it may have turned around into one of the bestest days EVER!

I hope they make a movie… It was hard to get into maybe but once you were a regular viewer, arrested development was the funniest show on television. Humor like this comes around not very often. It’s a shame it didn’t last longer.
