ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT MOVIE

Big J 33 said:
Arrested  is applying a new model, less because of its new home than competing demands for its stars, several of whom appear in other projects. “Contractually, we couldn’t use all the characters in every episode; they were not free to do as much television as they want,” Hurwitz says.

Each of 13 or 14 episodes (up from 10 originally planned) will focus on a single character, and only Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman), the level-headed son who holds the clan together, will appear in all of them. (Michael Cera, who plays son George Michael, is also now among the show’s writers.)

“The show will look very different,” Hurwitz says, and is being assembled as a “very, very complex puzzle” from scenes shot out of sequence over many months…”We’re not jumping from one thing to another; you’re staying with one character,” while other cast members appear in smaller roles, and recurring characters played by Henry Winkler and Liza Minnelli, among others, will return.

“The bigger story is the family has fallen apart at the start of our show,” Hurwitz says. “They all went their own way, without Michael holding them together, so they’re left to their own devices, and they’re not the most successful devices.” The season is designed as a “first act to what we eventually want to do, which is a big movie,” though there’s no guarantee it will ever get made.

“Each individual (episode) kind of depicts what happens in 2006 as the Bluths fled from the law on the Queen Mary” in what was once the series’ finale, then explains what’s happened to them since and leaves them in the present day, he says

I had a feeling it was gonna be hard to pull the cast together, but I figured the year or so it's taking them to film the season meant they would stick with the original format.  Well, once again...

I really hope this comes out eventually, and hopefully ties things up with a movie to end it. Best comedy show ever.
 
I wish some of the guest stars stayed a surprise. Not like it will make the cameos less funny, but still...
 
Are they releasing all the episodes on the same day like House of Cards? If so, I know what I'm doing all day May 26th
 
Not enough
