Nothing starts the day like Jason Bateman parroting the same sentiments on the prospects of the “Arrested Development” feature
film. “We’re gonna make the movie. Mitch Hurwitz is just starting to write it. It’ll be out in a year and a half.”
Sounds like it’s been delayed and a year and a half makes for January 2011, right? Then again, this is probably just a wild guess from Bateman. But either way, don’t hold your breath. Hurwitz has been, “just about to write this thing” for over a year now.
Sure, now that his animated FOX show is canceled, the show’s creator is probably moving forward with the script, but shooting by the end of 2009 — which was the original plan — seems a little far fetched at this point. We do suppose anything’s possible, but just don’t bank on it. [Details]
There was a tangible release date? If not, how could it be delayed?
it's one of the most talked about/ asked about films, yet I'm still uncertain about it's ability to be a commercial success. that being said, the budget on this probably won't be too big, but it has to be big enough that it doesn't feel like a 90 minute episode.
Come on!
