From a CNN.com interview with Cera:

"It would have to be really special, I think, to be worth doing, because I think the show is a nice story that ended nicely, and I'm scared of the idea of disrupting that," Cera said. "It's nice to end on a high note and get out early. It's kind of an instinct, you know. Keep them wanting more."

From the kid who's been in the business for five years.

Yet all the veterans think it's a good idea and are really eager.

If he's the only one not interested, do it anyway and just say George-Michael went off to college or something.

So this thing is OFFICIALLY a go apparently. Kieth Olbermann talked about it last night, saying that he had spoken to David Cross and David confirmed that he had been contacted.

I found a blog with a red carpet interview with Jeffery Tambor who also confirms it's a go.

[i]Just a few hours ago, Universal Home Video held a pretty nice party at the club Element (in Hollywood) to showcase their upcoming â€œHellboy 2: The Golden Armyâ€

I know some disagree but I think this is great news. Even if the movie sucks (which I doubt it will), it will still have been worth a shot. The formula obviously works so why not?

I'm definitely excited.

what's the last tv show that led to a good movie?

Simpsons was good.

Also, most TV show movies don't have the original cast/writers which is part of the problem.

Word. Plus not having the show running at the same time should give them a lot more leeway.

you should give it another chance, its up there with Seinfeld for american comedies - season 3 is the best

i rewatched the whole series recently

the narrator has some great lines

Tobias:I'm looking for something that says "Dad likes leather."

Store Clerk: You mean... "Leather Daddy?"

Tobias: Oh, yes if you have.

Keeping in mind, though, that the whole series is bloody great and to really get a lot of the jokes you have to watch from the beginning.

Quote:

the new romantic comedy from Arrested Developments Jim Vallely, Mitch Hurwitz and Will Arnett. Starring Arnett (30 Rock) and Keri Russell (Waitress, Felicity), the comedy centers on a lovable, but immature playboy (Arnett) trying desperately to win (or buy) the heart of his childhood sweetheart (Russell), the über-liberal humanitarian who got away.

also, David Cross just joined the cast.

looks like it could be a funny movie, but the plot....can it be a sitcom? (I assume if it is on Fox, that it is a show and not a made for TV movie.)

duckyboy · **Posted:** Sat Jul 24, 2010 2:50 am

Will Arnett and Keri Russell are supposed to be the same age?

robotboy · **Posted:** Sat Jul 24, 2010 2:53 am

In real life they're only 6 years apart. It's not that hard to buy that they're the same age in a movie.

Despite the generic, romantic-comedyish trailer above, I'm hopeful.

Also, I don't really like David Cross in anything but Arrested Development, but hopefully he will be a solid addition to the cast.
