“Arrested Development” creator Mitch Hurwitz says a proposed movie version of the sitcom is inching closer to reality.
The project, which will reunite the entire team on screen, has been in the pipeline for some time, but now Hurwitz is working on a script and is convinced studio executives will be “really eager” to shoot the film. He tells Rolling Stone magazine, “I think it would be very doable to get them together for four or five weeks to make a movie … I’m working on the movie right now. I can’t get into much more detail, because I don’t want to scare anybody off.”

But everybody seems really into it and really eager to make a movie.” The Emmy Award-winning sitcom, which went off the air in 2006, was revived for new episodes via Netflix earlier this year.
