It looks like there's a really good chance that an Arrested Development film WILL happen!

Mitch Hurwitz, who created and exec produced the Emmy-winning comedy series and legendary director Ron Howard have supposedly closed a deal with Fox to work on the big screen adaptation.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hurwitz is on board to write the film as well as direct with help from Howard.

We're excited about the possibility of Jason Bateman and Michael Cera teaming up again!

      yay! i love the bluth family.
      and i'm kinda getting tired of michael cera always playing the role of the awkward dorky boy….but i guess it's okay since george michael was his original awkward dorky boy character…

      That was Ricky Shroeder on Silver Spoons. Bateman was on Valerie. They changed the name to something else when they kicked Valerie off the show.

      Re: TwoGoofballs – You shouldn't be correcting someone when you clearly don't have the facts straight. Bateman was on Silver Spoons.

      Huh, ok, I'll take your word for it. I only saw a couple episodes of Silver Spoons, and I never associated him with it. I thought perhaps rhoniluv just mixed the shows up. My bad!
