Now THAT Sounds Like an Arrested Development Movie

Can you imagine a world with an Arrested Development movie finally getting made?

I can't.

Love the series as much as I do, it feels like that ship sailed a long time ago and it had a great wrap-up for a final episode. Going back to the Bluths five years later could be great. Or it could be one of those cases of where they should have left a great thing alone.

Our pals at Screen Rant have received word from a source stating that this will be announced in a few weeks time. But they've heard what the story for the movie will be:

"Ron Howard is making a movie about the Bluths using an A-List cast. But Dr. Tobias plays himself because nobody wants to play him in the movie. The Bluths decide to make their own movie in contention with Ron Howard's."

Not doubting them here. It's a cool idea, and fitting for the irreverent and meta nature of the great, short-lived television series. I'd just be cautious not to get your hopes up. Also this admittedly funny plot description notwithstanding, we've been here before with Arrested Development and creator Mitchell Hurwitz or stars Jason Bateman, Will Arnett or Jeffrey Tambor swearing up and down about how filming is going to start in the spring or fall for release the following year. And then nothing happens.
