'Goode Family' on Comedy Central: Is it better to let recently put-to-sleep shows snooze?
28 October 2009 12:43 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Comedy Central will begin airing all 13 episodes of ABC's canceled animated series from Mike Judge, The Goode Family, in January, we learned today. The network is also in talks to pick up Fox's animated high school series from Mitch Hurwitz, Sit Down, Shut Up, which flopped this spring. Insiders deny that Comedy Central plans to revive these series like it did by agreeing to air new episodes of Futurama, but both shows could benefit from airtime on a cable net that more of their target audience is probably already watching -- even if the only benefit is increased awareness.

Mitchell Hurwitz Talks ‘Arrested Develoment’ Film
27 October 2009 7:25 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
This past weekend the creator of Arrested Develoment, Mitchell Hurtwitz, attended the Austin Film Festival and was the focal point of two panels, “The Art of Storytelling” and a “Conversation With Mitchell Hurwitz.” During both panels the “Mrs. Featherbottom” architect discussed our favorite criminally-challenged family and their venture to the big screen with the Arrested Development film.
In “The Art of Storytelling” Hurwitz was accompanied by fellow Arrested Development producers Steven Zaillan and Ron Howard. The trio discussed the origins of the documentary style and how they sought to avoid the comparison to the original British version of The Office which was gaining momentum at the same time of Arrested Development’s development. (Say that three times… Arrested Development’s develop… I can’t even type it.)
Later in the panel, the trio appeared to still be deciding on which direction to take with the film as Howard wants to »

Confirmed: Mitchell Hurwitz Will Direct "Arrested Development" Movie
26 October 2009 7:58 PM, PDT | Reel Empire | See recent Reel Empire news »
I think I speak for everyone when I say that the life for the critcally acclaimed television sitcom "Arrested Development" was cut way too short. I was a huge fan of the series and Re's editor-in-chief Chad Langen loved the show as well. You may have heard there's heavy talk of a feature-film in 'development' based on the series. But, have you heard that the show's creator, Mitchell Hurwitz, has confirmed he will be directing the film from his own script? Even producer Ron Howard has said it's so! If you don't believe us, take a look inside to see exactly what the Austin Film Blog (very reliable) posted.

· Cinematical's got the new poster for Sherlock Holmes. Click for full-size.
· Woody Allen's latest has a title -- You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger -- and a plot description, which says the film "revolves around different members of a family, their tangled love lives and their attempts to try to solve their problems." Novel territory!
· Mitch Hurwitz is revealing some of the secrets of the upcoming Arrested Development movie -- including that it will be set partially in prison.
· Congratulations to Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss and Saturday Night Live's Fred Armisen, who tied the knot yesterday.
· Speaking of Mad Men, why is Matthew Weiner favoring little, homicidal Sally Draper so much this season? "[Kiernan Shipka] is such a great actress," Weiner explained at the Austin Film Festival. "You know, I said to her at some party -- I'd probably had a drink -- 'You are a really interesting person. »
Mitchell Hurwitz Confirms He Will Direct the Arrested Development Movie
26 October 2009 12:36 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
While news of a film resurrection of a widely-popular TV series has been scant as of late, one big news bit just came out of Austin, TX this weekend. Austin Film Blog reported, from an Austin event that featured Arrested Development creator Mitchell Hurwitz and producer Ron Howard, that Hurwitz would be directing the Arrested Development film from his own script. Here's what the blog had to say about the event.
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. »
Hurwitz Helming Arrested Development Movie

At this point the Arrested Development bit has been utterly destroyed from the sheer volume of people constantly chomping at it, hoping they'll sink their teeth into some fresh meat and sate their hunger for news. Well today, my friends, you'll get a nice hard confirmation of some directorial rumors and a sneak peek about what you might see in the film, straight from series writer Mitch Hurwitz. The Austin Film Festival recently took place and thanks to the gents over at Austin 360 they've provided in-depth detail about the .Art of Storytelling. panel at which Hurwitz and series executive producer and narrator Ron Howard spoke. Confirming everyone's suspicions, Hurwitz dropped the bomb that he is in fact hammering out a script for the film right now, and when the time comes he'll be the one in the director's chair. Phew!

Mitch Hurwitz Confirms Director Role On 'Arrested Development,' Reveals Jail-Heavy Plot
26 October 2009 8:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
You can't go a month in the movie industry without hearing scuttlebutt of the legendary "Arrested Development" movie — an oft-discussed project, yes, but elusive and viewed with some skepticism all the same.
But recent word from cast members and even a quasi-official announcement have offered a glimmer of hope towards the film's big screen prospects, and this weekend brought further fuel for that small-but-growing flame in the form of comments from series creator Mitch Hurwitz himself.
Austin Movie Blog reports that "Arrested Development" masterminds Hurwitz and Ron Howard hosted a panel discussion in Texas this weekend, during which Hurwitz confirmed that he'd not only write the screenplay but also direct the film.
Additionally, Hurwitz revealed "Arrested Development" will boast "a heavy jail presence," which would make sense given that the series finale simultaneously brought the entire show full circle while spinning the premise on its head. Looks like we'll be »

Hurwitz Taking 'Arrested Development' Movie to Prison?
26 October 2009 7:03 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Earlier this month we told you that "Arrested Development" creator Mitch Hurwitz was scripting an absolutely for-reals, big-screen Arrested Development movie, and that he would direct it himself. Speaking at a writing panel this weekend at the Austin Film Festival (where he appeared alongside Steven Zaillian and Ad executive producer Ron Howard), Hurwitz dropped a few more hints about what exactly we might be seeing plot-wise, and it sounds like somebody in the Bluth family (or heck, maybe all of 'em) will be heading to prison.
Honestly, it's hard to tell what Hurwitz meant when he briefly gave in to moderating producer Marcia Nasatir's prodding at the "Art of Storytelling" panel in Austin. According to Austin 360, "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 »

Series creator Mitchell Hurwitz has brought up the first hint on the plot of the proposed "Arrested Development" movie. Speaking at a panel called "The Art of Storytelling" on Saturday afternoon, October 24 in Austin, Texas, the writer/producer teased that a "heavy jail presence" will be featured in the story, as reported by Austin Movie Blog.
Hurwitz reportedly shared the info after he confirmed that there will indeed be a movie version for the Fox's sitcom which ran from 2003 to 2006, and he will make his directorial debut with it. Austin Movie Blog noted when prodded for more details, he stated "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."
Back in early October, it was reported that Hurwitz and co-executive »

Taste The Happy! Arrested Development Creator Mitch Hurwitz Will Direct the Movie and Reveals a Few Details About the Plot!
25 October 2009 7:51 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
At the beginning of this month, I reported an “Arrested Development” story without much enthusiasm because it was aboutwhat we’ve already heard for a while now: the movie is getting made and Mitch is working on the script. But tonight real news about the film landed online and even thought it’s minor by regular standards, for an “Arrested Development” movie it’s like stumbling onto a cooler with the name “Maddas” written on the side. Hit the jump to find out what the Bluths will be up to.
Last Saturday afternoon at the Paramount Theater in Austin Texas, Mitch Hurtiwz, Ron Howard, and Steve Zaillian sat down for a panel titled “The Art of Storytelling” moderated by producer Marcia Nasatir.

Mitchell Hurwitz Discusses His Plans For The Arrested Development Movie
25 October 2009 6:21 PM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Saturday saw not one but two separate special events with Mitchell Hurwitz take place in Austin, Texas and luckily I had remote ears attending both. The first was a panel discussion called "The Art of Storytelling," also featuring Ron Howard and Steve Zaillian, and the second was the clearly-titled "Conversation With Mitchell Hurwitz." Both saw some talk of the upcoming Arrested Development film. Hurwitz explained the origins of the TV show's style like this: Ron Howard approached him and asked for something in a verite style, but they soon curbed their enthusiasm for explicitly mockumentary language to avoid comparison with the BBC's version of The Office, which was just taking off as Devlopment was in development. For the film, Hurwitz is apparently tempted to change the style completely, but Howard wants it to remain the same. Even if that does end up being the case, Hurwitz did promise that the »

"Arrested Development" Movie Making Progress
6 October 2009 4:06 AM, PDT | Reel Empire | See recent Reel Empire news »
Man, it seems like ages since it was announced that the critically accalimed sitcom "Arrested Development" would be developed into a feature film. There's been talk after talk, yet for several years now, there has been little progress in getting the adaptation to the big screen. Is the wait finally over? Well, I wouldn't go that far, but it looks to be making progress. It was reported recently that creator Mitchell Hurwitz and co-executive producer James Valley are working on a screenplay. "Even as they prep a new Fox comedy series with Arrested star Will Arnett," writes The Hollywood Reporter, "the writers are spinning more bizarre encounters for the eccentric, spoiled Bluth clan for possible feature production in the spring." »
'Arrested Development' Script Finally Being Written
5 October 2009 5:38 PM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
We finally have concrete news about the Arrested Development movie, namely that creator Mitch Hurwitz is developing the script. He's working with one of the show's executive producers, James Vallely, on the screenplay, and Hurwitz has been named the director, according to a new Reuters report.
Now, we have been on this story for well over a year now, and the headline is pretty much always the same. In fact, the Vallely announcement isn't all that new, and I think most people assumed the script was already in some stage of development. So, for those of you who did make an ass out of u and me, this might actually be a step backward for the time being.
However, Hurwitz says he wasn't going to start writing a script unless/until all the cast members were locked in to return. Particularly troublesome in that deparment was Michael Cera, who until »

‘Arrested Development’ Feature Script In the Works
5 October 2009 2:15 PM, PDT | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »
It’s been three long, sad years since the Emmy-winning Fox TV show Arrested Development was canceled, and after months of rumor and speculation it looks like the Bluth family will be making it to the big screen after all. The Hollywood Reporter just reported that show creator Mitchell Hurwitz and show co-executive producer James Vallely are working on a script for the hugely anticipated big screen adaptation of the show. Imagine and Fox Searchlight will produce the film.
Debuting in 2003, Arrested Development focused in on the Bluths, a crazy family whose business goes sour and are left with nothing but each other. According to Hurwitz, the biggest holdup of the script being penned was getting the entire cast, including Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, David Cross, Will Arnett, Alia Shawkat, Portia de Rossi and Jeffrey Tambor, committed to the film.
Scheduling conflicts are certain, as cast members Cera, Arnett, and »

“Arrested Development” creator Mitchell Hurwitz and his co-executive producer James Vallely are working on a script to turn the cult favorite TV show into a feature film.
According to THR, Fox Searchlight is producing along with Imagine Entertainment. The Fox program was produced from 2003-2006 by Imagine, which was co-created by the show’s narrator, Ron Howard.
Hurwitz, who will also direct, has said publicly he wouldn’t start writing the script until the principal cast were all committed to return, so the announcement is good news that the main actors from the short-lived show may be on board. This includes Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, David Cross, Will Arnett, Alia Shawkat, Portia de Rossi, Jessica Walter, Tony Hale and Jeffrey Tambor. The production is tentatively scheduled for the spring, but it will depend on scheduling the tricky reunion.

I never know what to believe anymore re: the rumored Arrested Development movie, but this news seems pretty "Solid as a Rock" if you ask me: Creator Mitchell Hurwitz and co-executive producer James Vallely are working on a screenplay for the long-debated feature version of the short-lived Fox series. Okay! So it's really happening. Question for A.D. fans: Is it too soon at this point to start humming "The Final Countdown"?
