Has success gone to his head?

Back in November, Fox Searchlight signed a deal to make cult TV show Arrested Development into a big screen movie.

But, in a recent interview, Michael "George Michael Bluth" Cera insisted that the project is still in a very early stage.

Cera described the Arrestedmovie as "more hypothetical than people think".

Uhm, it doesn't sound very hypothetical to us!

"There's no script or anything, so the movie, I think, is more hypothetical than people think," said the rising film star to MTV.

And when asked if he was "holding out" on committing to reprise his TV role for the movie, he responded, "I'd possibly play, I'd possibly put the script in my shredder. I may buy a shredder. People have asked me about it more than I've heard about it [in an official capacity] but I'd be very interested to see what the story is with it."

We'd be more worried for the movie if Jason Bateman was pulling this asshole-y shiz!

An Arrested film can be made without Cera, right????

So it looks like the ball is rolling on the Arrested Development movie, but the big question is whether or not its darling, Michael Cera, will sign onto the project.

At the tender age of 20, his star is on the rise, with roles in Superbad and Juno, so co-star Jason Bateman understands, saying, "The guy is 20 years old and I'm sure he doesn't want to screw up this opportunity."

Still!

He better decide soon! Arrested writer and producer Mitch Hurwitz is waiting on the decisions of all the actors to begin working on a silver screen script. If Cera decides not to return, Hurwitz says the film will most likely occur some time after the show left off.

He goes on to joke that the film will be something like "Valkyrie meets Hotel for Dogs."

Hah!

Come on, Michael! It won't be the same without you!

This is inspired casting!!!!!

Gilligan's Island creator, Sherwood Schwartz, and his son, Lloyd Schwartz, have signed a deal to bring the beloved sitcom to the big screen.

And the pair want the infectiously charming Michael Cera to play Gilligan.

He should SO do it!

As for the "Movie Star"? The Schwartz have their eyes set on Beyonce.

Who should round out the cast????

John C. Reilly as the Skipper????

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!

Shia LaBeouf isn't the only quirky up-and-coming actor we love.

Superbad cutie Michael Cera has moved on to slightly more sophisticated fare.

The actor is starring in the indie comedy Juno, and looked just adorable at the premiere in LA on Monday.

Plus, he's Canadian, so you know we love!
