Arrested Development[views:3601][posts:26]_________________________________ [Feb 25,2009 3:50pm - oscarct ""] From ign.com February 25, 2009 - Michael Cera, the last holdout of the original TV show's cast, is reportedly set to reprise his role as George Michael Bluth for the big screen version of Arrested Development. According to E! Online, Oscar winner Ron Howard, who exec produced the canceled Fox series, will direct the film for Fox Searchlight. As Howard revealed to E! at the Oscars, "It's looking very much like we're going to make [the movie], but we've now been asked to stop offering any details. It's cloaked in a little mystery, but it's looking good." Filming could begin as soon as year's end, if everything comes together. Series creator Mitchell Hurwitz is penning the screenplay. Cera is currently filming Edgar Wright's adaptation of the comic book Scott Pilgrim. |

| _________________________________ [Feb 25,2009 3:56pm - oscarct ""] I hope this movie is as funny as the show. R rating? |
| _________________________________ [Feb 25,2009 3:58pm - darkwor ""] i think the cast and writers would have to make it R-rated, you can tell they hold back on the show so much. |

| _________________________________ [Feb 25,2009 4:03pm - darkwor ""] judging from what i see on the net, this show has a huge following, rightly so it's as good as a sitcom can get. the show seems like it's a lot more popular now than it was when it was on tv. and now, here's david cross: bennyhillifier |
| _________________________________ [Feb 25,2009 4:10pm - oscarct ""] def alot more popular now. I agree with the video, show never had ads or any typy of publicity. all I ever heard about the show is that it was always on the verge of cancelation. |

I agree with the video, show never had ads or any typy of publicity. all I ever heard about the show is that it was always on the verge of cancelation.kinda like Family Guy's first run....seems like Fox doesn't like putting ad money into comedic shows that aren't The Simpsons, who really don't need it |

| _____________________________________ [Feb 25,2009 5:56pm - badsneakers ""] I kinda hope it isn"t R rated. Part of why the show was funny is because they couldn't say anything they want |

| ________________________________________ [Feb 25,2009 11:48pm - neverpurified ""] I pissed me off to know that Michael Cera was the only one who didn't want to do a movie. Considering he is where he is today because of that show. No matter what he does, that kid will always be George Michael Bluth. |
