Arrested Development movie AND season of TV

aaron cohen — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 22:22:03 +0000

I knew following the New Yorker's Twitter account would eventually pay off. Today at New Yorker Fest, the latest news about the long rumored Arrested Development movie. Calling this project 'on again off again', is an insult to understatements. The news today? Not only is the movie on, AD creator want's to do a season of TV leading up to the movie. So... That's good.

‘Arrested Development’ movie back on

aaron cohen — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 23:04:24 +0000

I'm not sure it's worth posting, but we've had a good 3-5 months where no one involved has said the movie ISN'T happening. And now Jeffrey Tambor has added further confirmation to creator Mitch Hurwitz's hints from February. So there's that.

No, it's all going straight, everyone's on board, I know they're writing, and maybe next time this year we'll be having this conversation.

Will Arnett Says ‘Arrested Development’ Movie Back On

aaron cohen — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 14:06:21 +0000

Well, this is good news. 2 reports in a row on the 'Arrested Development' movie being on. Shouldn't some key grip or something come out next week saying the movie isn't happening?

Yes, it's true: According to GQ, both star Will Arnett and Mitch Hurwitz, creator of the beloved cult Fox sitcom, have verified that their highly anticipated film adaptation is finally in the works after years of rumors. Of course, there are still some details to be worked out, such as trying to co-ordinate the filming around the schedules of a dozen in-demand stars like Jason Bateman and David Cross, but considering the trials and tribulations the film has faced to get to this point over the last four years, that's barely a minor hurdle.

Arrested Development Movie Back On!

I told you! I told you! Last week, when David Cross was quoted as saying the Arrested Development movie would never get made, I told you it would only be a matter of time before another cast member directly contradicted him. I said it would be 2 months or so, but it took only a week for Jason Bateman to offer, "David says that it's dead, but it's not dead at all." OK, then.

"It's not going to happen".

"I mean, there's so many people involved. Everyone's doing their own thing, you know. And everybody's aged. It's just not going to happen. I'm sure I speak for everybody when I say we'd love for it to happen, we'd love to work on it, but just I don't think... not going to happen."

Next year, after the movie has a release date, we'll all look back at the last 3 years of on again / off again movie rumors and realize that was the marketing plan all along. The way to keep the movie in the news every 2-4 months is for one of the cast members to be quoted saying something which contradicts completely the last cast member on record. Or else, the movie really won't get made and we'll all be sad.

Documentary About Arrested Development

aaron cohen — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 21:22:05 +0000

It's been only a few months since the last time I breathlessly reported on the health of the Arrested Development feature length film. I did a double take when I saw a post on Kottke about an Arrested Development documentary. A movie about the show, but not the movie of the show. Here's the trailer.

The website for the documentary is also kind of a trip.

Soderbergh’s Moneyball Animates Bill James

aaron cohen — Thu, 07 May 2009 14:20:07 +0000

Steven Soderbergh needed a gimmick for the Bill James character in Moneyball, so he has decided to animate him. Uh, that's a gimmick. Though, if anyone could be a cartoonish superhero to the Moneyball crowd, it's Bill James.

We have this sort of oracle character that appears throughout and declaims various issues and he’s essentially supposed to be Bill James. He’s your host in a way…. The background will be real but the person who is supposed to be him will be animated.

Note: At some point I may or may not get away from breathlessly reporting on all of the updates related to Michael Lewis Movies (See The Blindside and Moneyball, as well as the no brainer Liar's Poker, which would be so timely it makes my mouth taste acidy with adrenaline). This breathless reporting is also present for the Arrested Development movie. Again, it is unclear whether this will continue or not.
