“There’s really no need to write anything about [the movie] at all until [Mitch Hurwitz is] done writing it. Once he writes it, then, just like any movie, then it becomes something a little bit more real and then you try to figure out scheduling and you try to figure out people’s deals. I mean, it’s got the same life that any other project would have. It has just as much a chance of happening as it does of not happening really.” — Jason Bateman says of the “Arrested Development” movie, essentially saying, “guys, don’t bother until we have news.”
But as he says, it’s no further closer to reality than it was six months ago (when all the excitement and hoopala started) and Hurwitz is still currently writing it. Those laying down odds in Vegas will want to move “end of 2009” production start date wishfully-thought about earlier this year squarely sometime into 2010 (summer at the earliest would be our guess, good luck wrangling all those people and schedules when the screenplay actually is done). To make distractions worse Hurwitz is also involved in another new TV show. [Collider]
