Mitch Hurwitz Writing ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT Movie
Arrested Development fans still excited for the long-awaited movie, you're in luck! Creator Mitch Hurwitz is currently writing the script! In an interview with Rolling Stone he says that he wants to make a movie and then do the fifth season. Here's what he said,
"I'm working on the movie right now. I can't get into much more detail because I don't want to scare anybody off. I don't want to be presumptuous about it. I don't own the property outright – it's a 20th Century Fox property. But everybody seems really into it and really eager to make a movie."
He went on to talk about making the fourth season with Netflix, and says that the biggest challenge of it was working around the schedules of the large cast. "A TV season is a six-month commitment. But I think it would be very doable to get them together for four or five weeks to make a movie." As for that fifth season we've been hearing about, it sounds like the plan is to do it after the movie.
"The whole thing is sort of unprecedented. It's always been its own little thing. I kind of feel like the more it stays original, the better chance it has. As soon as it goes back to trying to do exactly what it was before, you run the risk of doing a reunion show or something."
The movie still has yet to get a greenlight, but it seems like everyone that would be involved with the project is interested. I'd be surprised if it didn't happen.
