‘Arrested Development’ movie to be done this year

Mitch Hurtwitz has revealed that he wants to have the Arrested Development movie in cinemas by the end of this year.

Hurwitz, who created the short-lived sitcom, told Digital Spy that he is currently working on a script with Jim Valley that will resurrect the Bluth family for the big screen.

“We’ve started that process and it is our sincere hope to shoot it this year and get it out this year,” Hurwitz said. “That’s what we’re hoping, but a lot of things have to fall into place for that to happen.”

Asked about the storyline for the Arrested movie, Hurwitz added: “I want to keep whatever it is we end up with as a surprise, which kind of betrays the fact that we might not have the whole thing worked out!

“But I don’t like to toy with the affections of our fans. They’ve been so supportive and we’re so grateful, so I kind of hate to answer the question until I can say, ‘Yep, we’ve shot it, it opens next week’. Otherwise it feels like we’re toying with people and we do not mean to do that. It has just taken a while to get it going.”

Ron Howard previously told DS that he may reprise his role as Arrested Development‘s announcer and appear in-person in the movie spin-off.

Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, David Cross and Michael Cera were among the cast for the sitcom, which ran for three seasons on Fox between 2003 and 2006.

Arrested Development will air on the UK’s FX channel beginning February 8 at 9pm.
