Oh don’t even tease me like this. I’m just now getting over the fact that "Arrested Development" has been canceled, and now comes a fresh batch of rumors that there might someday be a … movie version? Has Fox made a huge mistake?
From IGN FilmForce: "Sitting in the trailer of Will Arnett for a cozy and inviting interview, IGN asked the actor about the possibility. "When did they say that? Yeah, there has been talk of that. I don’t know exactly where they’re at with that. I’ve talked about it with Mitch [Hurwitz] and Jason [Bateman] and a little bit with a bunch of people involved with the show and different producers… I’m pretty sure that, obviously it rests on Mitch, any sort of project like that would have to come from him. It would be something that he would be really passionate about. If the story was right and you felt like that the story was right, and by story I mean money, was large enough, then he’d do it…"
So while the possibility of an "AD" movie still seems pretty remote, it’s nice to know that the idea’s been floated around. At the very least, you got to read a rather cool Will Arnett interview, courtesy of IGNFF.
And if you still haven’t given the show a shot, I highly recommend you do so. The third and (sniff) final season hits DVD shelves on August 29th.
