Oh, George Michael...

I've refrained from writing about the possibility of an Arrested Development movie for a while now, just because it's been so up in the air that it might not have been worth writing about if it didn't come to fruition. However, I read on Pajiba a bit ago that everyone's on board, and that Mitch Hurwitz is working on something else, but when he's done with that, he's going to start writing a script. So I'd give it a year and a half or two years before we even start seeing trailers, if at all. Anyways, that's all well and good, but there's a hitch: Michael Cera might not even be in it. I guess he doesn't see the point in doing a movie, which is so depressing. I can't see anyone else in that role.

"Yes, it's a go," an Arrested castmember who asked not to be named tells me. "We're all very excited. And it will happen with or without the holdout."
Wait a minute...The holdout? Yes, I'm also told exclusively by multiple sources that one of the show's original castmembers has not signed on to the movie...
"Yeah, [he or she] might not do it," an actor says of this costar. "However, I do know that we will do the project with or without [him or her]."
Add that to this September quote from Michael Cera... "I don't think I would want to see a movie of the series if I was a fan anyways...and I don't really see a need for it if you can get the three seasons on DVD."

Cue sad Snoopy music...
