Mitch Hurwitz Set to Direct Arrested Development Film
“Hurwitz received a large ovation when he confirmed that, yes, there is going to be an Arrested Development movie and he will be directing. While he has been very tight lipped about what will be in the movie, Hurwitz relented to Nasatir, and said, that there would be a heavy jail presence and then made jokes about the inclusion of TARP money, a nod to the inability of a film to be as timely as television due to lag times in production and release.”
Austin Film Blog reported that above quote from an Austin event that featured Arrested Development creator Mitchell Hurwitz and producer Ron Howard. Hurwitz “is official” on directing the Arrested Development film from his own script.
I haven’t seen any episodes of the show but there is a lot of folks that are comedian vets that were in the show and Michael Cera was sort of discovered through the show. Jason Bateman was the star and it was sort of his comeback into the mainstream. I plan on connecting with the series that ran for 3 seasons on Fox sometime soon to prepare myself for the live-action film.
