Ron Howard talks Arrested Development Movie

[GreenScar]

There has been lots of information about an "Arrested Development" movie floating around the internet, mostly coming from the cast. Unfortunately, they have been giving fans contradictory information. The most recent of these has been Jeffrey Tambor, who revealed to Collider that the film will definitely happen and that he has already spoken to producer Mitch Hurwitz.

Now, ComingSoon had the chance to speak to Ron Howard (Da Vinci Code), who was the executive producer and the narrator of the show, to finally find out what exactly is going on with the "Arrested Development" film.

"I really hope we do it," Howard enthused. "The reason there's been so much back and forth is... well, for two reasons, is the business understanding coming from the studio side was not clear, so even though we were wanting to do it and said, 'Yeah, maybe we could' but things weren't defined. I think that's really come into focus in the last week or so. Mitch's full-on commitment to not only write it but direct it is something he's been wrestling with, he's been launching a TV show at the same time, so he couldn't let it really be at the forefront of his mind creatively. It is now. He seems very committed. We still don't have a script. Yeah, he's got some great ideas, and the cast seemed very excited about it and I certainly am. I'm very, very hopeful—more hopeful now than ever—that it's really going to happen."
