Arrested Development movie in 2009?

Many members of The Starter Kit are huge fans of Arrested Development. After cancellation, rumors have grown around the idea of full-length motion picture. In a DVD extra on Season 3, Mitch Hurwitz (the show's creator) mentioned that he was done with AD on television and wanted to get the show a chance in theaters.

The writers' strike in Hollywood gave many of the cast members time to discuss the possibility of the movie, and everyone seemed on board with the concept. In a recent interview with Jason Bateman, The Times Online scored some huge news: "A big-screen version of Arrested Development is planned for next year." Let's hope everything stays according to plan. You can read the entire interview here.

In the meantime, you can catch many of the AD crew in other pilots Fox picked up. Mitch Hurwitz got Jason Bateman, Henry Winkler and Will Arnett to provide voices for his new animated series, "Sit Down, Shut Up." Cheri Oteri, Kenan Thompson and Maria Bamford will also have roles.
