‘Arrested Development’ Movie in the Works

Fans of the cult hit TV show Arrested Development will be surprised and excited to hear that a deal is in the works for a feature length film of the same name. Word on the streets is that the movie will be budgeted at $15 million through Fox Searchlight Pictures. That’s more than enough to pull off a good comedy. Oh, and Ron Howard and original AD writer Mitch Hurwitz are on board. That’s gotta be good news.

One of the show’s original actors is apparently “iffy” about the project, but the others are optimistic that it will happen with or without the one person. One person missing out of the bunch isn’t that bad. Obviously it’d be nice if everybody would show up and reprise their roles from the extremely under appreciated sarcastically dry TV show.

The only question lies with the writers of the film. Will they try to wrap up loose ends left untied from the show or will they stick to a somewhat new and more movie-esq plotline? First and foremost, rumors surrounding this series haven’t always panned out the way fans have expected or wanted. This whole thing could go belly up. Let’s just wait and see.
