SURELY A MOVIE (was: New new news! It's on!!!!)

[smeddy]

(From iFilm)

Now from Collider comes the latest twist in the creation of the Arrested Development movie. Steve “Frosty” Weintraub spoke with Tambor at an event to promote Hellboy 2 and asked him if he was sick of people asking about the Arrested movie. Shockingly, Tambor responded as follows:

"Well no, because we’re doing it. We are going. It’s a go. I just actually this week talked to Mitch Hurwitz, so we’re doing it."

Clearly taken aback by the positive response, Frosty pressed for details, as any Arrested fan would. After all, we’ve been through too much to have our hopes let down again. Was there a start-time? A script? Tambor, referring to Hurwitz, said:

"No, but when the writer calls you, the director and the executive producer calls you, it’s a pretty good sign."


Some clickies!

I'm getting my hopes up!

It still feels like at some point we're all going to be so excited that we'll run to the theater and burst the doors open, and then once we're in, the doors will swing back and cut off some guys arm, and then we'll scream, and then he'll come over and say "and that's why you never get excited!"


I'm not buying into anything until we get confirmation that they're actually shooting the damn thing.

I have the same fears, but anyway, another link:

All very promising news, but I have to agree that I should wait to get my hopes up. I just can't go through that kind of pain again.

I won't be 100% satisfied until I hear from Mitch himself.

This sounds like it may be it, but I still want to hear that any possible issues with superstar Michael Cera have been resolved.

on tonight's "countdown", Keith Olberman reports that David Cross has recieved the same phone call as Tambor.

It's happening, isn't it?

I know it's not 100% confirmation but this is a very happy day for me. I was actually watching AD when I read the post. Happy day!
