As we reported months ago, the the Arrested Development movie is happening. But we also reported that one actor from the TV show hasn’t signed on. Turns out, that actor is none other than Juno and Superbad star Michael Cera, who played George-Michael Bluth on the show.
According to inside sources close to the deal, all of the main Arrested cast members have signed on to the movie except Cera, who, it seems, thinks he’s too important for a big screen version of the low-rated series.
“I don’t really see a need for it if you can get the three seasons on DVD,†he had said back in September.
But the movie will go on with or without him. “We’re going to pick up five years later, and family dynamics change, but they also kind of stay the same. So hopefully we’ll just explore where they are now,” producer Mitch Hurwitz said.
Can’t wait…
