Jason Bateman, who once starred in one of the funniest and under-estimated shows by Fox in the network's history, has recently done an interview with MTV. In said interview, he began to fuel more rumors of an Arrested Development movie, something fans of the show have been waiting for since the show was canceled.
Bateman revealed over this past weekend, he was on the phone with the show's creator Mitch Hurwitz, pushing him to puruse the option. The idea already has the backing of some of the shows actors, including the recent success Michael Cera.
As the writer's strike is stopping all writing and production on new material for television and film, Jason explains it's not necessarily a bad thing: “[During the strike] you’re allowed to write things you’re not being paid to do... I’m trying to talk [Hurwitz] into writing the ‘Arrested Development’ movie. And he could be coming around.”
Watch the video of the interview below. For now, I think I'm going to have to break out my AD DVDs this weekend and indulge in some Bluth Bananas.
