David Cross Gives Yet Another Update on the Never-Happening Arrested Development Movie
If it's November, it must be time for our monthly check-in on the (non) happenings surrounding the Arrested Development movie. Take it away, David Cross: "We shot it secretly on location in the Maldives. It's actually been done for about two years now." Oh, you kidder. No, what's really not happening?
Well, shockingly, not a whole lot. As Cross told EW:
"I have not seen a script. I know the story they've got in mind, and it is great. I think it is [a] perfect continuance of the Bluths, although I cannot say anything. I know the outline is done. I am definitely looking forward to it whenever, if ever, it happens."
It's nice to see Cross continue to manage expectations there at the end of the quote. But really: There's a better chance of a unicorn walking into your office right now than Arrested Development ever getting made. As Gob would say, it's an illusion. (He'd also say something about his $2,600 pants.)

I think any candidate that declares a total ban on reporting on Arrested Development movie non-story would win handily. It's gone from being ironic to annoying.
Next time a member of the cast decides to pipe up about it, just tell them to shut the hell up.
I don't know why they're not still doing the tv show. There just had to be other networks who would have aired Arrested Development, HBO would have been good, to get rid of the censoring. Why didn't Hurwitz just take the show to another network?
