'Arrested Development' Movie Story Revealed!

Now that almost everyone in the cast (holds fist in air, screams "Cera!") has mentioned that they'd be up for an Arrested Development feature film, we turn to any piece of plot information we can get our creepy little perverted hands on. Series creator Mitch Hurwitz was out promoting the new animated show Sit Down, Shut Up (as executive producer) -- which also features Will Arnett and Jason Bateman in its voice cast -- during the TCA press tour, and he provided a much-needed update with regards to a big-screen Arrested Development outing. Hurwitz says, "We want to do it, we have a deal more or less in place from Fox Searchlight, and we're kind of getting all the actors on board."
Sounds good -- a lot of this is stuff we've already known -- but then Hurwitz went and dropped the story bomb on everyone. Do you wanna know what this film will be about? Do you really wanna know? Because it's beyond crazy -- it's so freakin' out there you might need to sit (or lay) down, preferably in a relaxed position with one leg (left?) slightly bent. Ready? Here's what Hurwitz and the gang have planned plot-wise for the film: "We have a story, which is basically Valkyrie meets Hotel for Dogs." Wow. So does that mean the Bluth family will find themselves in a position where they have to hatch a plan to assassinate a group of Nazi dogs? Seems that way, based on that description.
What do you think the movie will be about?

Arrested Development = one of the best sitcoms ever. It should never be made into a movie. Ever. Under any circumstances.

Maybe you realize his comments are obviously a joke, but man you write so sincerely it seems that you're just hopelessly naive.

Sir, I was kidding by writing a bit too overly serious -- but I am still hopelessly naive, just not when it comes to this particular film.

Hmm... can only imagine the hilarity that will ensue. Especially what happens to George Michael and Michael after they sailed away... Please sign on, Michael Cera! Even you have to admit how incredible the show is!

There are many of us excited for this coming, I would love to see if Julia Louis Dreyfus actually had a baby that was Michael's. I'd like to maybe see if the Warden has anymore roles. I would like see Buster get his hand back. But, I can't wait for the story that I get.

Please, just leave the Mr. F and Rita storyline behind and we'll be all good.

Totally torn on this one -- adore the show and would love a movie to continue the story but unfortunately wouldn't be surprised if the movie doesn't live up to its history -- to prove, I have two words -- X Files.

So what if X-files flopped? An Arrested movie would be for the fans. And just maybe it could be another Sex and the City. I want to see the Bluth family again, with or without Cera as George Michael. As for the story: Sounds like more of the wonderful insanity from the series.

I think it will be the story of a wealthy family who lost everything, and the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together.
It's Arrested Development.
