"Arrested Development" Film Approaches Reality

The "Arrested Development" feature has moved closer to reality, with Mitch Hurwitz and Ron Howard reportedly closing deals for the long-gestating project from Imagine and Fox Searchlight.

The possible migration of the critically acclaimed but short-lived Fox series to the big screen has been a hot topic among fans for the past year. Speculation has been fueled by cast members of the show, including Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Jeffrey Tambor, who have been frequently quoted in interviews that a feature adaptation is in the works.

Great low rated TV show but the feature will be an overpriced box-office bomb when released.

Why should the studio expect the public to line up and pay for something they could have had for free on TV but passed on anyway?

Seriously, could some studio exec answer this question?
Explain the rationale because this is why people think Hollywood is full of stupid people.

I am SO excited for this project!!! I love and miss this show dearly.

That show was smart and funny, ... that must be why it got canceled. Maybe after the movie it will make a "family guy" style come back.

So the cage match between Barry Zuckercorn and Bob Loblaw is on?
