We’ve all heard rumors about whether or not the former FOX TV show, Arrested Development, would get to step up to the big screen and get the respectable ending that it deserved. Apparently the show, which only lasted three seasons on FOX, didn’t have the following that FOX had hoped for, so it was pulled from the TV line up. But as of today, nearly 4 years after the show was cancelled, it seems that there are still “developments” being made.
According to Empire Online, Mitch Hurwitz (Creator), has officially began writing the screen-play for the Arrested Development Movie. Up until this point the thought of an A.D. movie was just hearsay, but now it is clear for take-off. One of the biggest questions that everyone has been asking is…will the original cast will be back? In the past, Hurwitz stated that the movie would not happen unless the entire cast decided to return. So it should be a good sign that all of the members of the Bluth family, including Michael Cera, will be returning for the film since the script is now being written. Obviously Cera has done some big things since the shows dismantling, but it is nice to see that he will be resuming his old role.
It is extremely humbling to see this show, which was shut down prematurely because of “bad marketing” (see: Why Was Arrested Development Cancelled?), get the recognition that it deserves.
