If the Bluths go to space I will be very disappointed. They can go to space in the 4th movie, like Leprechaun 4.

If anyone finds any stories about the AD movie that arent on http://www.arrested-development-movie.vndv.com hit me up on the contact page.

all seems to have gone quiet on the AD news front lately.

also, i reckon the movie may start with Lucille being running the max security wing of the prison shes in

Has everyone forgotten that Maggie Lizer may be pregnant with Michael’s baby?
(recall the “on the next AD” segment at the end of the episode where we discover she was faking a pregnancy)

I think that a movie would have a chance to ruin the entire sitcom as a hole and I would much rather see them just continue the series with a few more seasons.

I personally am looking forward to this. If it sucks, I will go home and console myself by watching all three seasons on DVD.

all i care about is george-michael and maeby finally really getting together properly. i reackon their story was the only one really left in the air. maybe a bit of angst from maeby because of george michael leaving.

i really dont see it as a movie honestly.
but i love for it to get picked up by HBO or Showtime or something.
i think it really works well as an epic tv series…

I can envision a sort of road movie, perhaps a cross-county (Orange County, that is) voyage to drop George Michael off at his new college (UCLA? USC?) that goes awry.

all those plots are really bad. they’re too one dimensional, and mostly self indulgent for the fans. if there’s anything the show taught us is whatever us fans want something happening, the writers will give us the big middle finger and do the exact opposite.

I don’t really care what happens in it, as long as it’s awesome and Abraham Higginbotham is somehow involved in the storyline/actual screenplay.

Even though I know this is weird, I’d like to see Gob and Michael have an affair after Michael comes back from Cabo and Gob confesses he’s always been in love with Michael (it would explain a lot of his behaviour towards Michael) and Michael eventually accepts that he’s an incestuous (bleep) and that he was a hypocrite. Meanwhile George Michael, not easily giving up on Maebey and them now knowing they really aren’t related, have a relationship and eventually consumate their accidental marriage. Lindsay, enraged after being rejected by Michael looks for a way to get back at him, and then she finds out about him and Gob, but since she has no real proof nobody believes her. As for Steve Holt, after getting in an argument with Gob he meets up with Anne who is PO-ed about Gob dumping her just because she wouldn’t let him (bleep) her, and decide to have sex to get back at him but aftewards they actually start to have feelings for each other. Eventually Anne finds out she’s pregnant with Steve’s child and Steve asks her to marry him, saying, “Just because my dad wasn’t there for me growing up doesn’t mean I’m not going to be there for my kid” and Anne says yes. And Maebey finds out that she’s pregnant with George Michael’s child and they have to come clean about their marriage. Lindsay and Tobias, in a final attempt to save their marriage, decide to renew their vows. Then due to all the marriage talk going on, Gob gets the crazy idea of asking Michael to marry him.

Just some of my weird ideas of what I’d like to see happen. lol.

Renee’s got something there, you could even tie in the California’s DMV system; it’s insane. What about Vegas? The Bluth family spectacular!! GOB could do magic (cue the intervention by the Magicians Union), Tobias could perform as an extra Blue Man, etc…Let George Michael and Michael come back to the US to see the show!! A great way to start…

Despite what I’m about to say, I hope an AD movie gets made. However, the problem with an AD movie is the problem all niche TV shows have going to the big screen: because of relatively high production costs, and despite best efforts by good people down in the trenches, they aren’t making it for the fans rather Everyone Else in order to maximize ticket sales. This means in-jokes get diluted, obvious characters must be introduced like the viewer hasn’t seen them before, etc. etc. The result is usually a confused snarl of nonsense that satisfies no one — new or old viewer. But there’s always hope things will get done right…

Those are some good ideas I would like to see it back on TV as oppose to a movie it would be tuff to make a movie flow like the tv show. I do think if George Senoir or Lucile dieing after a few years have passed of faking thier death would be a peferect excuse to get everyone back together especially Michael. I think they can pick up from there and show flashbacks to how things spirial to the point where they needed Michael back.

the reality show wouldn’t work, because the show was already filmed in the documentary style. wouldn’t they already be playing to the cameras?

Just bring back the show. Another season would be great. AD is the best comedy on TV!!!

…I won’t even get my hopes up! The greatest television show of all time is gone and no wishing or hoping or vacation (”spring break, woo-hoo!) will bring me back the Bluths!

….but if I had to wish for a scenario, Kitty Sanchez gets pregnant from George’s sperm, not allowing her to drink-and she has to face Lucille every day!Michael and George Michael open a development company in South America, and the rest of the Bluth’s, and Ann, and Stan Sitwell, and Lucille II, and Rita all show up…..

With Lucille in jail, she tells Buster to marry Lucille Austero. After the wedding, the news reports that Lucille Bluth has escaped jail (photo not found). Now on the lam, Lucille Bluth calls in an anonymous tip, that she’s seen the escaped Lucille at the Bluth house. The feds show up, asking for Lucille Bluth, and of course, proud to be married to Buster, Lucille Austero Bluth steps forward, and is arrested. She’s taken to prison, despite her claims, “But I’m Lucille 2!” The real Lucille Bluth is satisfied, because now her enemy is behind bars, due to lack of a photo, and Buster is miserable, hence making her practically gleeful.
