Michael Cera not interested in an AD movie

[so's your face]

i don't think he knows what he's saying...

[arrestedfanuk5]

Lots of TV shows have made movies and in my opinion they have never been as good as the show, which Cera is probably concerned about.

It never did any harm to Trailer park boys

I LOVE the Trailer Park Boys, but didn't think much of the film. I guess it gave extra exposure for the TV show though.

The movie had to appeal to and attract people who are less fortunate in the brain department, but it was still a great film and better than alot others. The series is GENIUS, i prefer the first 4 series, but the seventh season was a big improvment on the sixth, basically, I love trailer park boys.

...basically, I love trailer park boys.

When you say that in lower case, it sounds a little dodgy.

(The actor would gladly reprise his role as George-Michael Bluth if "Arrested Development" creator Mitchell Hurwitz "decided it was something he wants to do." Says Cera: "If he was going to proceed with it, he would want to make sure it was going to be done right.")

Michael Cera:

You’ve been quoted saying that you didn’t think there would be much interest in an “Arrested Development” movie, but there are still constant rumors that it will get made. What’s the status now?

People have asked me about a movie since the show was cancelled, but I don’t know. I think people will ask about it for a long time. Whatever the case, nothing I say will dictate anything.

But if it does get made, will you be in it?

It would depend on a lot of things. It’s pretty hypothetical. I know there’s a page for the movie on IMDb, which is strange because I know it’s definitely not that real.

The TV-to-movie transition worked for “Sex and the City,” another show with a loyal following that was huge on DVD. Do you think that helps in any way?

I never know how many people were aware of “Arrested Development.” It’s hard to have any kind of indication of what would happen with a movie. The show was so self-referential. If people aren’t familiar with it already, the movie might be difficult to understand.

All I can say is: Come on!

I reckon that if they make it, the show's reputation, it's pretty big fanbase, the opportunity for a great plot, some great trailers and great reviews will make this the must-see comedy of the year.

I'm not sure why the small audience the TV show had should have a bearing on the making of a movie, anyway. I mean, think about all of the movies that were made that had no TV show whatsoever to build upon. I mean, "Caddyshack"? No built-in audience whatsoever. "Titanic"? Just a bunch of boring educational programs, at best. "Batman"? OK, that one did have a TV show, but c'mon!

"Arrested Development" already has 5-6 million ticket buyers built in. That should give you a budget of $40-50 million that you'll recoup provided the movie is of reasonable quality.

Damn that Cera!

Big Hollywood's got him in their pocket!

You do know that Titanic isnt based on a documentry right

Also, without wanting to get on the guys back, he doesnt exactly sound excited by the idea of playing GM.

I was going to watch Titanic, but someone ruined the ending for me

I think with films like this where a large cast is needed (and all of them as vital as the others) you need one or two of the bigger names on board for it to gain momentum.

Obviously if you get Bateman (who clearly is) on board, the writers (who clearly are) and one or two other cast members, more will follow.

I'm not concerned, we will see more AD one time.

That's the spirit!

I watched the alternative ending. No sinking, just sailing.

Do not watch the alternative ending.
