I don't understand the question, and I won't respond to it.

For three years, my life has been void of something great. I've been sitting, waiting, wishing for the day when I would once again get to see my favorite cast of characters fill the screen. "Arrested Development" was on for three short seasons, but ever since it was cancelled by Fox in 2006, it has been constantly playing either in quotes in my head, or on my dvd player (I own all three seasons on DVD and can recite multiple episodes because of my extensive viewing).
The show was critically acclaimed by dozens of reviewers and well adored by it's fanbase, but sadly the ratings were never up to par with Fox's needs for the show. Luckily, the handful of people who did enjoy the show, myself wholeheartedly included, never gave up and took the close of the final episode as a sign... "I don't see it as a T.V. show, maybe a movie though?"
Just look!



come on, if Keith Olberman asks, it has to be done... and luckily from what I read a movie is almost, definitely happening.

Multiple sources found when you google "arrested development movie" say that it is a defintie go, but none are %100 reliable. Jason Bateman is supposedly on, as well as Jeffrey Tambor. The IMDB page tells me that it's "in production," my fingers are crossed for a 2010 movie, which would just make my laugh.

In the event of a movie though, there are certain demands I must make.
1. Don't compromise George Michael just because Michael Cera is a big star now.
2. Don't commercialize it too much, keep some of the running jokes running. "Her?" and "It's an Illusion." and a Franklin duet and so many other quirky long term jokes are what made the show for me, and if they're replaced to make the movie more receptable to audiences, the movie would not be able to compare to the show. See, New York Magazine agrees with me.

3. Do bring back some beloved guest stars, specifically Bob Bablaw so I can say his name
4. Please make an awesome soundtrack with "Big Yellow Joint" and "Free" and "Final Countdown" and the "Mr.F theme" and every other song I hum whenever I think about the show.


Please make this movie =[
like i'm eighty nine percent sure this is going to happen!
