George Michael Ruins Everything

Sad news for Arrested Development fans: Michael Cera, also known as George Michael Bluth, just put the kibosh on any plans for the series to be made into a movie:

What he won't be doing any time soon is a movie version of a certain quirky TV show. He hasn't heard of any plans for an Arrested Development film.

'I don't think I would want to see a movie of the series if I was a fan, anyway,' Cera says. 'And I don't really see a need for it if you can get the three seasons on DVD.'

Look, Michael, just because you starred in a couple of hit movies doesn't mean you have the right to interfere with our hopes and dreams of seeing the Bluths on the big screen. It's not fair.

I'm sure I'll take shit for this, but I have never seen Arrested Development. I know, I know … someone kill me in the face with a DVD.

I assume it's worth it, and I will rent the DVD's at some point. I just don't really dig on sitcoms …

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Well. That feels like a sucker punch to the gut. I think I'll spend the rest of the day sucking my thumb in the fetal position and rocking in a corner. Or just just drink a lot.
fuck.

Alice, go to Netflix and get the DVDs stat! I rewatched them all over again a couple of months ago (waiting for the damn movie!), and it was so much funnier watching the episodes back to back. I wonder if that's why people didn't get it.

He.Will.Make.This.Movie.Period.

Oh, FYI, Alice, yes. You WILL go get this, immediately. And you will NOT call it a sitcom, as that is beneath a series at this level of genius.

That's it, people. I have resorted to using sheer force of will to get my way.

COME ON.

Uncle GOB was right to 'host' Ann ("Bland") on his boat; serves you right, George Michael!

Although, I sort of agree with him. Maybe the movie would be great, but it could be really terrible, and that would make me sad.

Alice you're on probation until you return to Mollygood singing Final Countdown and fully embracing its glory, relevance, and importance.

Maybe he just wants us to be REALLY excited when they finally announce they ARE doing a movie.

I have to believe that. Otherwise, this is just the final kick in the crotch that sends me over the edge into a years-long depression.

They could still make it without him, he could be at college or something, like Ritchie's brother on Happy Days.

No. They cannot do that. I appreciate you trying to work with it, gayledi, but it can't happen that way.

A reliable source said he hooked up with a super model who posted a profile at 'rich k iss.com' which is a site for quality singles. His fans are talking about it now uhmmm~

No. 19 Fans Love Michael says:

Read carefully people, this may be the denial setting in but what does this sound like to you "a movie OF the series". I'll tell you, he means remaking the series in movie form, we don't need that because "you can get the three seasons on DVD"

And if by chance Cera doesn't do it then I still say make the movie.

Look at banner Michael

No. 20 Jeremy says:

Last time I checked, Michael Cera is not the decision maker for Arrested Development. If Cera doesn't want in on it, then screw him. They'll make a replacement for him just like Marta.

I think Cera just prematurely shot his wad and now has somewhat of a mess on his hands.
