Ron Howard also produced the first three seasons of the series, and will continue producing duties on the new ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT mini-series and movie which were announced last year.
Find out what Howard had to say to Collider about the new series after the break!
"There’s not a specific start date, but Mitch Hurwitz is definitely working to quickly get it all underway. I don’t want to burden him with any release dates, but I know he’s well underway and it’s something he’s been thinking about a lot, over the previous year. It’s a huge challenge ‘cause we’re talking about 10 episodes, or almost character studies, individually featuring various characters from the Bluth family and showing where they are now and updating audiences, as we build to what we eventually expect and hope will be a movie. So, we need to re-acclimate everybody, and I think he’s got some hilarious idea about where these characters are in the world now, four or five years later, what they’ve been up to, what their frame of mind is now, and how they relate to each other. It’s pretty hilarious, outrageous stuff. Mitch is really enjoying delving back into the Bluth family."
I've loved a lot of TV and movies in my short life, from RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK to DRIVE, SEINFELD to BREAKING BAD, but I've never loved any piece of media more than ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT. It is literally, my favorite thing in the entire world (though I also enjoy PARKS & REC...).
Howard's quote suggests the new ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT is on the right track, but, just to be safe...
DON'T FUCK THIS UP HOWARD AND HURWITZ! I can take a sub-par sequel to RAIDERS, but I don't think I can bare poorly made ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT.
