The Arrested Development movie has gone through lots of ups and downs since Jeffery Tambor, the Bleuth patriarch first mentioned that it might happen. Since then, we’re heard similar news from Will Arnett, Jason Bateman and series-creator Mitch Hurwitz who dropped the bombshell that the only cast member resisting an AD movie was Michael Cera.

Cera himself said that there wasn’t even a script and he would at least have to see a script before signing on blindly, possibly because no one told him his Sundance movie, Paper Heart, was going to get lackluster reviews. Maybe because he’s unaware that his “golden boy from Juno” status is going to quickly fade.

Either way, Tambor has come back to the table to assure us that the AD movie is still going to happen…

From the NY Daily News:

Michael Cera will do the highly debated “Arrested Development” movie, according to his on-screen granddad, Jeffrey Tambor.

“If I have to call him up and say, ‘Get on set right now, young man,’ he’ll be there,” the comic said at a recent Upright Citizens Brigade L.A. performance of “Word Girl.” “The movie is going to happen this year, and Michael Cera is on board. Trust me.”

That’s right, kid. Don’t fight Jeffery Tambor. Your Juno money means nothing when compared with his Hellboy money.
