“Ron Howard is making a movie about the Bluths using an A-List cast. But Dr. Tobias plays himself because nobody wants to play him in the movie. The Bluths decide to make their own movie in contention with Ron Howard’s.”

Obviously, this should be taken with a grain of salt; but it's very interesting news all the same! If it's truly the plot, I have mixed feelings - it sounds hilarious, but at the same time, I was hoping for something that took place on a grander scale.

As a bonus, here's scenes from the series in LEGO FORM!

That actually has huge potential and fits within the AD world. Though I too would like a little more. I guess beggars can't be choosers.

Haha, very true. It should be noted, too, that an earlier rumor about the film involved Vince Vaughn playing GOB - a lot of people saw that as just being a joke, but it could have actually been foreshadowing this!

I recently started watching this show, and I'm almost done with the first season. It's really good!

Rest assured, it never loses steam. Best show ever made.

To be honest, I can't really imagine a "grand scale" AD plot. This sounds like a perfect plot for a movie that fits the series' style.

Wait, the Arrested Development movie is still happening? I kinda figured it was canceled by now.

Only Will Arnett should play GOB. Anyone else would just be acting like they're Will Arnett.

Jason Bateman was recently on the Daily Show and said it was still on, though some funding issues are holding them up.

Maybe "grand scale" isn't the right term, but... I was kind of hoping for a plot where the characters have things on the line, y'know? This plot has a ton of comedic potential, though; and considering there isn't a single bad episode of the show, I probably shouldn't be doubting Hurwitz and co.

So, which celebrities do y'all think should play the "other Bluths"? Jesse Eisenberg as George Michael is a must, and it'd be hilarious if Carl Weathers played one of 'em.
