Wheeling and Dealing
Filed under: TV News
Our favorite Silver Spoon-er (sorry, Ricky Schroder) is doing good for himself.
Jason Bateman has scored a deal with 20th Century Fox TV to develop TV series, as well as produce and direct projects.
Does Bateman thank the stars every day for his career jolting stint on Arrested Development?!
The actor is diversifying and raking in the bucks!
"I'm an avid consumer of television, and I've got varying tastes," Bateman said. According to Variety, he also said he'd love to pattern his production banner after those of other actors who have successfully made the transition to producing, including his Arrested boss, Ron 'Opey' Howard.
We won't mind seeing more of Jason Bateman!

1st!
1st
i would mind…
2nd?
5th?
what's with the heart Perez- you wouldn't be so lucky!
He was such an ass in Juno.
Amen to more J.B.
I. Love. Jason. Bateman!
I loved him in "Silver Spoons" and especially "It's Your Move". Just NEVER mention "Teen Wolf Too"!! that was a total flop directed by his dad, Kent Bateman (also a film and television producer) and was no match to "Teen Wolf" which launched Michael J. Fox's movie career. Jason made a comeback in "The Sweetest Thing" alongside Cameron Diaz, then it was "Arrested Developement" and he's never looked back. Does anyone remember his older sister Justine Bateman? She played Michael J. Fox's sister Mallory in "Family Ties".
Arrested Development was one of the best shows ever! He was fantastic on it.

I ♥ Jason Bateman!
(Teen Wolf, LMAO!)
I love this guy! I'm so glad they've quit passing him over for roles. I loved him in Juno and Arrested Development. He seems so, well, normal.
Re: MsAdventure –
How do u add in pics like that????
I fucking LOVE Jason Bateman!!!! Please say he's working with Michael Cera on this new show…probably not, but they're so awesome together.
He is so darn good-looking. I have had such a crush on him since Arrested Development!

Arrested Development is, far and away, the best television show of all time. Seriously. Every moment is pure brilliance. Bateman is awesome.
no way, arrested development is the best thing he ever did! but you would not be able to appreciate that.

All glory to the HypnoBateman.
The smart girls have loved him forever.
I thought Arrested Development was a brilliant show. He brought his sister Justin onto the show to play a hooker and it was HIGH-LARIOUS!!
I LOVE ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT!
Doing GOOD? Doing WELL is the proper English phrasing - are just uneducated or completely stupid? You keep using the word "cause" in the place of BECAUSE - and that's not interchangable. Try reading the dictionary sometime. Or finishing school.
Re: I WAN – Create an avatar. Mine's not working quite right yet.
Jason Bateman is fucking HOT!
Ron Howard played Opie Taylor (note Opey) on the Andy Griffith show
Love him, too! LONG LIVE MICHAEL BLUTH!
i'm so happy!!! i freaking love jason bateman!!!
I love Jason… you rock
I really believe he's a comedic genius
JASON BATEMAN IS MUY CALIENTE!
JUST WATCHED JUNO AGAIN LAST NIGHT…GRRRRR!!!
I LUUUUVVVVVV Jason Bateman. I even loved him in Teen Wolf 2. That make out scene rocks! My hubby looks exactly like Jason and I am the luckiet girl in world!
Good for him!
He is a talented working actor w/ intelligence who has really had a long and largely ignored career. I always enjoy his cameos and can't wait to see more of his talents both in front of and behind the camera.
Congrats!
He was so cute as James on "Little House on the Prairie"!
IM SOOOOO HAPPY FOR JASON B.HE WAS ALWAYS GOOD ..AND HE IS FUNNY TOO..IM GLAD TO SEE HIM OUT THERE AGAIN AND DOING WELL…TO BAD HIS SISTER WAS SHOT ON D.HOUSE WIVES..IT WAS NICE TO SEE HER AROUND TO..THEY KILLER HER TO QUICK..YEY FOR JASON!!!
he should be named jason hot-man.
I love me some Jason Bateman! I love Arrested Development! You go Jason!!
Jennifer Aniston is pregnant with John Mayer's baby!! Yeah!!!
I love this guy
Arrested Development was the most underrated, amazing show ever to grace our TV sets. I highly recommend renting some DVDs to anyone who has never seen it. It's protestacular!
Re: rache – agreed. Arested Development was some of the best/ funniest Tv ever.
Jason Bateman ROCKS!!!!
He's hot and funny. Also, there's something about him that seems so unpretentious…like you can tell he's one of the good guys in Hollywood.
An "avid consumer" with "varying tastes"? He's making tv sound like a friggin cellar of 100-year-old wine or something. Why not just say "I sit around on my lazy butt watching a whole lot of television"? tell it like it is!
you really know what you are talking about
my relative works for him AND JASON IS A REALLY NICE GUY
GOOD HEART
they just need to bring back arrested development ~ that was the most amazing show ever!!!

luv luv luv Jason Batman I think he is a total hottie!
That's one guud-lookking white boy
Ooooh, I have had a huge crush on him since "The Hogan Family". He is very cute! And "Arrested Development" was the best show ever!
Jason Bateman is soooo fucking hot!
And its "Opie".
mmmm like fine wine…not only has he been HOTT since back in the day - his looks only got better with age…LOVE arrested development…one of the best shows EVER
That is such awesome news!! He seems like one of the few people in Hollywood with a sensible head on him, a really nice guy. Loved hime on Valerie, It's Your Move, The Hogan Family (!!!), naturally Arrested D. Go go Jason!!!! His wife is also a babe!!!!
what he needs to fous on is bringing back Arrested Development
Re: Kimbe – True. He was sort of a dork in Valerie's Family/The Hogans. But, he's turned out to be very talented and strikes me as intelligent. I miss Arrested Development!
He fucked a woman i know in nyc. cokehead too but i hear he cleaned up. but yeah he cheated on his wife Mandy Anka–Paul Anka's daughter. he dropped the psycho he fucked though. she told pretty much everyone. that guy from arrested development … will arnett is a boring douchebag.
Good for him. He had some fame, then went to the Z list, and now he's gradually coming back. He's being cool about it, not acting like he's deserving of being a big star like Cunt-rine Hiegl. Looks like he's going to do good stuff in Hancock.
I miss Arrested Development! That was one of the best comedies on television. They need to bring it back, all Family Guy style.
i fuuuuuucking LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS MAN!!!! JB baby
is bateman married? he is still cute except for the hairy chest. what type of girl do you like jason?
I loved Arrested Development! I'm glad that he's still acting and can't wait to see him in more stuff! I hope he gives his sis Justine some roles too (nepotism rocks!), LOVED Family Ties growing up and she was awesome as Nellie in AD!
That's great! I really like Jason and his sense of humor. Also LOVED Justine on Family Ties!
He was on silver spoons???? I dont remember that.
whats up with his hair I mean rug
Love - love - love Jason. i have fab memories of him from when I wa a teenager watching the Valerie show in the 80's. He was on par with Kirk 'Christain' Cameron from Growing Pains….
Arrested Developmenht was comic genious!! One of the BEST shows ever! Also, JB was awesome as Pepper Brooks in Dodgeball! He's so versatile.
This guy is a religious nut. Sorry, but that ruins his appeal.
Evie, are you thinking of Kirk Cameron? I don't think Jason Bateman is religious. Not sure though…that would kind of ruin his appeal, lol.
YUSSSSSSSSS! I'm excited already x] Bring on the Bateman!
He is Yummi-licious!!!!! And funny too!
