'Arrested Development' Movie is Go for Launch, Seriously

No Michael Cera didn'tpull a Lindsay Lohan. But he did however, make an Arrested Development movie a bit more realistic. According to Kristin Dos Santos over at E! Online, sources close to the negotiations of said TV-to-film venture said that longtime hold out Michael Cera has agreed to reprise his character George-Michael Bluth for the big screen. His holdout hasn't been one of holding himself in high-esteem and not looking back at his career, but rather of caution in his thriving career (especially after warming teenage girls hearts in Juno).

This comes after a great bit of news from executive producer (as well as the show's narrator) Ron Howard that he let out to Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet at the Oscars this past weekend. Howard said, "It's looking very much like we're going to make [the movie], but we've now been asked to stop offering any details. It's cloaked in a little mystery, but it's looking good."

I'm usually not too keen on any television shows making their way to the big screen. Some concepts work better on television than they do on screen, so when I hear about a Lost movie or anything like that I don't feel any excitement. However, this is one show that never got the time or respect it deserved on air, and with such a great cast and amazing writing, this is sure to impress.
