Arrested Development: Where Are They Now?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 11:53:04 -0700

Get ready for the big-screen Bluth family reunion! The Arrested Development movie is finally picking up some steam, with creators Michale Hurwitz and James Vallely working on the movie's script. The only concern? All the principal actors are committed to doing the movie, but since the show invigorated their careers, they've all got a lot of projects lined up, which may make for scheduling conflicts when shooting begins. So what are the original cast members up to that's making them so busy? I'll tell you.

Movie Preview: An Arrested Development Documentary

BuzzSugar — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 13:30:04 -0700

Until that oft-discussed Arrested Development movie starts to move forward for real, there is at least another fun AD-related movie in the works. A couple of self-proclaimed "Arrested Development superfans" came up with the idea to put together an "Arrested Development Documentary Project" (working title) as a way "to take our passion for the show and couple it with the countrywide fan base to educate others and make them aware of this TV gem." Here's more:

The overall goal of the documentary is to provide awareness and education of this brilliant, witty and original comedy. We are looking to interview viewers, cast, crew and any other industry figures that are fans or critics of the show.

At first I assumed this was just a cute little fan project that might not look all that professional, but after watching a video from it (which I've posted after the jump), I find that I'm completely wrong. This is one movie that will be required watching for anyone who considers himself/herself an AD fan. I can't wait to see it! You can check out the video if you read more.

Many more videos from the project are available here.

Buzz Gift Guide: Entertainment Tees For Guys

BuzzSugar — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 06:30:15 -0800

Welcome back to my Buzz Gift Guide series for all the entertainment lovers in your life. Last week I dug up fun t-shirts for the ladies so today I'm tackling the men's t-shirt department.

I love the idea of buying entertainment-related tees for guys because it not only shows you care, but that you really are listening when they quote, say, Arrested Development all the time. For those buddies I will be giving this t-shirt inspired by the show (and there are tons of other good ones!). I also know many a fellow who will get the joke on this It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia t-shirt (sing it with me: "Dayman! Fighter of the Nightman!"). And, oh my gosh, I think I'd die of laughter if I could get my dad to wear this Entourage t-shirt.

Fans of The Office might get a kick out of this Vance Refrigeration tee, and for the music-loving dudes in your world check out these t-shirts designed by bands like The Shins (proceeds go to charity!).

"Dayman" - It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia ($24.95)	Huge Mistake White T-Shirt ($24.99)
Vance Refrigeration T-Shirt ($24.00)	The Shins Charity T-Shirt ($25.00)	Entourage Let's Hug It Out b*tch Mens T-Shirt ($19.99)

Fox Searchlight Reportedly Picks Up Arrested Development Movie!

BuzzSugar — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 12:40:05 -0800

If all the "sources" are correct, Arrested Development fans have something to celebrate today: The movie is a go!

Yup, I think I just blue myself.

The Hollywood Reporter is saying today that Mitch Hurwitz and Ron Howard are "reportedly closing deals for the long-gestating project from Imagine and Fox Searchlight."

E! Online's Watch With Kristin is going a step further to confirm that without a doubt, the "Arrested Development movie will happen." However! There is apparently some behind-the-scenes drama already, since "one of the show's original cast members has not signed on to the movie." Kristin continues, "The good news is that aside from this actor (who, sorry, cannot be named), I'm told that all of the other main cast members have committed to be a part of the big-screen project." That utterly sucks about the one "holdout," though maybe he or she will come around? Fingers (and hooks!) crossed!

Now, if you need me I'll be in the hospital bar, wearing my "slut" t-shirt.

Which Arrested Development Character Do You Miss the Most?

BuzzSugar — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 05:30:00 -0800

In case you didn't hear, we are closer than ever to getting an Arrested Development movie! Jason Bateman recently told E! that they're in talks to resurrect the Bluths' story for the big screen.

Despite owning all three seasons of AD on DVD, I have missed the Bluths terribly since the show went off the air almost exactly two years ago. I know there are lots of AD fans lurking out there, so tell me: Which character have you missed the most?

Arrested Development Movie: It Really Might Happen

BuzzSugar — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 13:45:10 -0800

Bluth family reunion! It's been rumored before, but now there's some news that makes the Arrested Development movie seem a bit more likely. What are the odds?

Actually, the odds may be quite good: Jason Bateman told E! that talks are officially in the works to bring the Bluths back together on the big screen. Bateman and Jeffrey Tambor both said they've gotten calls asking if they'd be up for a movie (answer: yes), and other ex-Bluths are reportedly doing the same.

Creator Mitchell Hurwitz doesn't have a script yet, but according to E!, he does have "a good, solid understanding of what he'd like to do for the movie" and a studio (Universal) that would be interested in making it happen. Actually putting the film together would happen sometime after the end of the writers' strike, so there's another reason to plead for a resolution.

What say you? Best news you've heard all day, or best news you've heard all year?

Buzz Gift Guide: Brotherly Love

BuzzSugar — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 05:30:00 -0800

Today's holiday gift guide features gift ideas for the boys in your family with whom you had to share a bathroom growing up.

The complete series of Arrested Development on DVD will most likely delight your brother while also providing you guys with something to laugh at together if you find that the holiday togetherness is getting to be a bit much.

I really like the Bourne movies, but the guys I know seem to like them even more. Come December 11, you can give your brother the gift of three movies' worth of Jason Bourne eluding the authorities.

If your brother loves both music and video games, consider getting him Rock Band Special Edition for his PlayStation or XBox360. The game comes with a guitar, microphone, and drums so he and his friends can play along with Metallica, Bon Jovi, and more. This would be especially good for a guy who's living in a college dorm or has enough roommates to form an impromptu band in the living room.

Before it was a movie directed by Sean Penn, Into the Wild was a bestselling book by Jon Krakauer about the free-spirited Christopher McCandless and his dangerous journey into the Alaskan wilderness. Your brother may also be interested in another of Krakauer's well-received books, Into Thin Air.

If your brother is too young to have watched The Goonies in its glory days, it's your responsibility to educate the young lad on all things Truffle Shuffle.
