What is the status of Arrested Development? Do you have any idea when you might actually film that, and are you excited that it’s finally going to happen?
HOWARD: There’s not a specific start date, but Mitch Hurwitz is definitely working to quickly get it all underway. I don’t want to burden him with any release dates, but I know he’s well underway and it’s something he’s been thinking about a lot, over the previous year. It’s a huge challenge ‘cause we’re talking about 10 episodes, or almost character studies, individually featuring various characters from the Bluth family and showing where they are now and updating audiences, as we build to what we eventually expect and hope will be a movie. So, we need to re-acclimate everybody, and I think he’s got some hilarious idea about where these characters are in the world now, four or five years later, what they’ve been up to, what their frame of mind is now, and how they relate to each other. It’s pretty hilarious, outrageous stuff. Mitch is really enjoying delving back into the Bluth family.

I hope it goes back to the humor of S1. I thought S1 was much funnier than S2 or 3.
ReplyDeleteI still think it is a bit of an odd concept to do 10 character study-like episodes!
ReplyDeleteI can see why they felt people needed to reconnect before the movie, but it seems like movie could or would launch more seasonal episodes in the tradition format. It feels backwards to me.
Maybe I just want a 10-episode setup season, then a movie, and then more seasons of Arrested Development! XD
Feels backwards to me as well. Hate that they have already ruled out continuing after these 10 episodes and the movie.
