When asked if the rumored sequel is happening, comedian Showalter told WATCH WHAT HAPPENS LIVE host Andy Cohen:
"Absolutely yes. One hundred percent yes. The whole gang. Everyone's back. We're doing it."Yet, I'm still not convinced; like the long rumored ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT movie, this seems to good to be true (until that other dream DID officially become a reality).
First off, Showalter, like his friend and co-star Michael Ian Black, is the king of deadpan comedy. I would not be surprised in the slightest if "One hundred percent yes" is just him joking around with us, after all, it is what he does for a living.
Combine that with the fact "The whole gang. Everyone's back" seems very unlikely because "everyone" includes current superstars Paul Rudd, Amy Poehler, Bradley Cooper, and Elizabeth Banks, not to mention Janeane Garofalo, David Hyde Pierce, Michael Ian Black, Christopher Meloni, Molly Shannon, Ken Marino, and Joe Lo Truglio. Just like with ARRESTED, it would take a miracle to get that entire cast back at an affordable enough price to make a profitable sequel to a movie that was very unpopular at the time.
Maybe I'm wrong to be so skeptical. Watch Showalter yourself after the jump and draw your own conclusions.
