Exclusive! Jason Bateman Confirms Arrested Development Movie Talks

Jason Bateman has just confirmed to me that the creative minds behind Arrested Development (Mitch Hurwitz and Ron Howard) have put the wheels in motion toward a major motion picture of the Fox TV comedy so many of us adore. I'm told by insiders that Jason and other Bluth family members have received calls from producers (Hurwitz and Howard) asking if they would be willing to shoot a movie.

"I can confirm that a round of sniffing has started," Bateman says. "Any talk is targeting a poststrike situation, of course. I think, as always, that it's a question of whether the people with the money are willing to give our leader, Mitch Hurwitz, what he deserves for his participation. And I can speak for the cast when I say our fingers are crossed."

Jeffrey Tambor also revealed on XM Radio's the Ron and Fez Show that he has been approached by Ron Howard to see if he's willing to do an Arrested film.

February 4, 2008 - There's buzz that the long-rumored Arrested Development movie might finally be happening. Emmy-nominated Actor Jeffrey Tambor, who played George Bluth Sr. on the fan-favorite series, dropped the knowledge during an interview this weekend.

Tambor was heard on XM Radio's The Ron and Fez Show hinting that development on the Arrested Development movie may be starting soon.
"I think we're gonna make a movie," Tambor said. "I talked to Ron Howard [series executive producer] the other day, and he hinted around that there's a real push to get the movie made, of course, after the strike. And [he asked] was I on board. I said, of course! I'd love doing that!"
