Culture: Bluths, unite: Arrested Development gets new movie, episodes (!!!)

  • good The entire cast of Arrested Development got together for a reunion today at the New York Festival — the cast’s first full reunion since the show ended years ago. Steve Holt!
  • better The movie — long-awaited by many a Bluth fan — will be coming out for sure, most likely in 2013. No Maebys about it. We’ll be rockin’ “Franklin Comes Alive” until that point.
  • best A new season (!!!!) of the show will precede the movie, complete with backstories about each member of the cast in each episode. No frozen banana could top this moment. source

Culture: Will Arnett/David Cross joints: Not one, but TWO of them

  • “running Wilde”: Will Arnett’s JointWe’ve already mentioned this at some point, but this “Arrested Development” mini-reunion featuring Arnett, Cross and Mitchell Hurwitz premieres on September 21st. (Cross isn’t in this clip but will be in the series.) This series features Arnett as a rich guy attempting to win Keri Russell’s heart. Not a stretch, right?
  • “Todd Margaret”: David Cross’ joint In case you want to see David Cross in the kind of front-and-center role that Tobias Funkë always deserved, here you go. This is headed to IFC in October, and the premise is promising in a “Mr. Show” kind of way. Let’s hope it’s not forgotten and quietly canceled, like the excellent and lamented “Party Down.”

Culture: Dear Will Arnett: Stop playing tennis. Make “Arrested Development.”

  • Word on the street is that Will Arnett, not Michael Cera, is holding up the development of the “Arrested Development” movie, thanks to a new show he’s making with creator Mitch Hurwitz (that hopefully will be better than “Sit Down, Shut Up”). They need to hurry up. If they don’t, Michael Cera’s gonna be pushing 30 by the time it happens. (The video above, featuring fellow funnyman Will Ferrell? Choice.) source

Culture: A plea from the peanut gallery

  • Yo, Michael Cera. Loved you in Superbad. Thought you were amazing in Juno. And though I didn’t see Nick and Norah’s, I wanted to. Because of you. You’ve never steered me wrong. So, please, tell me: Why are you holding out on the Arrested Development movie? If it’s really so wrong to say yes, we don’t want you to be right. That is all. source
