Jeffrey Tambor talks about a possible 'Arrested Development' movie

Jun 30, 2008, 11:18 AM | by Lynette Rice

Categories: Movie Biz, TV Biz

Jeffreytambor_l Bluth family lovers, rejoice! Former Arrested Development costar Jeffrey Tambor has confirmed published reports that a movie version of the Emmy-winning Fox comedy is in the works. “After months of speculation, I think we have finally figured out for sure that we are indeed doing an Arrested Development movie," Tambor told EW.com at the premiere of Hellboy II on Saturday, the closing night of the L.A. Film Festival. "I am very excited about that. I love that cast and crew and I felt like we had more to say."

The series, which aired for three seasons, starred Jason Bateman, Portia de Rossi, Jessica Walter, Will Arnett, and Michael Cera. The single-camera comedy was beloved by critics, but was never a ratings bonanza for Fox, which canceled the show a year after it won the Emmy award for best comedy.

I just watched every episode...OMG, I can't believe I missed this show when it was on the air. So intelligent, so funny. You have to have half a brain to make the connections but it is such a great mental and hysterical experience. I cannot wait for the movie, it needs the original characters, maybe Bob Loblaw can convince them! Go Bluths!

Rae Sun, Jul 6, 2008 at 08:45 PM EST

OMG! I loved this show. I can't beleive it. I mean I talk about this show to people who have never heard about it. They needed to wait a longer time before cancelling. Can't wait to see the movie

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Nina Fri, Jul 4, 2008 at 05:22 PM EST

One of the greatest shows ever. Tragically cancelled by Fox (hmm, didn't they also cancel Firefly?) after a too brief run. I always hoped that someone at the studio would say, "I've made a terrible mistake." I am thrilled to hear the movie will happen. I sincerely hope they reassemble the entire cast for it and that we see some of the great supporting players as well. I have re-watched the series about 5 times and still find undiscovered humor in it. Truly well-written, well-acted and under-appreciated.

ComedyConnoisseur Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 04:34 PM EST

There are three types of people in this world. Those that unconditionally love Arrested Development, Those, due to Fox's unforgiveable poor handling and promotion, who never got into Arrested Development, and the type are dead people, because even people in a coma still fall into one of the two previous groups.

This is better than pennies falling from the sky. They won't even need the "Free Chicken" magic trick to pull people out to see it.

Bluths Live! Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 08:36 AM EST

This movie is going to be a great success. Reminds me of the return of "Family Guy." It's as Ann as the nose on plain's face.

Robert Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 07:37 AM EST

Good lord RT, not an exaggeration to call it the best ever? Well, yeah it is. It is, IMO, the funniest American comedy ever (after only the British shows FAWLTY TOWERS and MONTY PYTHON). Only 30 ROCK since AD has been anywhere near its league in quality of humor. I've lent my DVDs to so many potential new fans that they are close to worn out. As I said, easily my favorite American half-hour comedy. (Though I'd still rank it below shows like BUFFY, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA [the new one], FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, THE WIRE, SIX FEET UNDER, and others in the "Best Ever" debate.)

RT Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 02:29 AM EST

good holy god, this is the best news! The BEST show EVER on TV. No exaggeration, whatever the opposite of exaggeration is, that's what this is.

My gut is telling me no, but then again, my gut is very hungry.

Franklin Delano Bluth Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 10:24 PM EST

To all those who said the second and third seasons of AD were horrible, you can kiss my black $$$! Oh wait, I dyed myself white didn't I?

Franklin Delano Bluth Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 10:19 PM EST

"I blue myself."

I loved AD from the beginning. I tried telling all of my friends of it's genius yet it took it going off the air after 53 hilarious episodes for them to come around. The show has now joined cult status and will be a huge hit at the movies.

CharlotteLoveAD Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 08:52 PM EST

I am a new fan and i love this show. It is my favorite, and i am kicking myself for not watching it when it was on the air. I am so glad to hear that there is going to be a movie!! Cant wait to see them all together again!

Sausage in the mouth Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 07:27 PM EST

Best line ever. I laughed for the entire episode at just that one line.

Family Love Michael Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 05:57 PM EST

And I love AD. If only I could buy the tickets now.

spaceman Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 05:51 PM EST

the funniest line i EVER heard ever was from the first episode of the first season where the mother, complaining about the gay pirates states "they're so flamboyant and overly dramatic that it makes me want to light myself on fire!" pure and subtle genious!

worlds first analyst and therapist Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 05:33 PM EST

Excuse me, do these effectively hide my thunder?

Those are balls Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 05:27 PM EST

It's too bad people couldn't recognize genius when this show was on. Easily the funniest thing on TV. As some of the other posters have noted, you actually had to be intelligent to enjoy this show, and unfortunately, the world is full of idiots. And yes, that especially is directed to anyone who is knocking AD here. 'America's Got Talent' and David Hasselhoff do not count as quality entertainment.

Narrator: Tobias listens to a day's worth of his own words, to see what Michael was referring to...
Tobias Fünke: [on tape] ... even if it means me taking a chubby, I will suck it up.
Tobias Fünke: Nothing wrong with that.
Tobias Fünke: [on tape] Oh, I've been in the film business for a while, but I just can't seem to get one in the can.
Tobias Fünke: It's out of context.
Tobias Fünke: [on tape] I wouldn't mind kissing that man between the cheeks, so to speak.
Narrator: ...and he realized there is something distinct about the way he speaks.
Tobias Fünke: Tobias, you blowhard!
