“There's been lots of suggestions for 'Call Me Maybe' jokes, but I don't think they'll make it in there." – Alia Shawkat on the one joke we shouldn't expect in the forth season of Arrested Development. Too bad we all wasted our time making the videos and buying this t-shirt.
Her? Mae* Whitman, the actress that played Ann Hog on Arrested Development, told Hollywood.com that she will 100% be in the fourth season.
"I definitely, definitely wouldn't ever let this chance go by without being a part of it. I told Mitch [Hurwitz] that I would stand outside the sound stage until he would let me just walk through the background or something… I would say yes, you can definitely expect to find a little bit of Ann hiding in the background somewhere, at least."
Plant would be really good at hiding in the background.
*It's interesting that her name is the same as the character that George Michael really loved. [...]
First Mr. Henry Winkler tweeted, " I AM SUPPOSED TO BE MEMORIZING an ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT scene with MAYBE for today …dont tell anyone i was here OK?????" (We won't tell any— Oh, ooops.) Then he tweeted this photo with the caption, " Oh my goodness … What a Development !!!!!!!" First, great joke, Winks. Second, we agree, that is quite the development. Two lawyers, now I've seen everything. Well, we don't know for sure Barry Zuckerkorn will be back as a lawyer or a prostitute or a third profession somehow even more disgusting and depraved as the gross job of being a…lawyer. (Lawyer jokes!)
Welcome to our seemingly daily dose of exciting Arrested Development developments. Today, a spokesperson for Netflix stated that they intend on putting the fourth season up in the spring. Assuming they are basing this on the Northern Hemisphere, we'll need to keep our calendars clear from March 20 to June 20. Netflix also somewhat confirmed David Cross's comments from earlier this week that there could be more than 10 episodes. According to them, it's up to Mitch. If he has more content, they aren't going to kick it out of bed. (Netflix employees watch Netflix in bed.) Sounds great. I'm satisfied. See you tomorrow, Arrested Development development [...]
The man that started it all with the line, "But maybe a movie," will again make a physical appearance on Arrested Development. Howard told CNN:
"I’m also told that I’m going to have to make an appearance as I did in the last episode of Arrested Development - I’m showing up again at some point. So, I’m going to have to film that soon which will be kind of fun. Usually I’m a little too busy, but, with Mitch and Arrested Development, it’s irresistible."
Damn right, you aren't too busy for Mitch. Assuming Ron is again playing Ron, this is an intriguing revelation. Is the fourth Arrested Development [...]
Jefe? More like Jeff-e Garlin, who told Paste that he's currently filming Arrested Development: "Now am I in it? I don’t know if I’ll end up being in it, they might cut everything with me. But I am filming some episodes.” SOME episodes? Jeff's Mort Meyers only appeared in a handful of episodes the first three seasons, so this does imply he might have a slightly increased role. Maybe when Maeby got to the appropriate age, he did finally marry her.
You know, the one that features two Lucilles? TV Guide is reporting that Liza Minnelli recently arrived in Los Angeles to shoot Arrested Development. This is very exciting news for Buster and maybe Gob. This comes after the news that Judy Greer and both Henry Winkler and Scott Baio are coming back. It's pretty safe to say that most if not all of the major guest stars will be returning for the fourth season. Steve Holt! Carl Weathers!
Despite her constant proclamations otherwise, I guess it wasn't the last time we saw those, as Kitty and her boobs will be back flashing the Bluths, next season on Arrested Development. Judy Greer tweeted the below photo and everyone cheered and cheered. Ok, but after this time, we'll say goodbye for good. SPRING BREAK! [Via]
SHWHAAAAT!?!?!?! If David Cross knows what he's talking about, we're already getting more Arrested Development than expected:
"I think it's going to be 13 episodes, not 10. There's too much story. Some characters will have two-parters. Everybody sort of participates, sometimes in a bigger way and sometimes in a tiny little thread that goes through everybody else's stories."
And what can we expect from these 13 glorious episodes:
I know what the stories are and what Mitch [Hurwitz] is doing, and it's so layered. It's really audacious and amazing. I think a lot of people will miss the work that is involved, the story, the Venn diagrams that are [...]
Zap2It confirms that Isla Fisher and Terry Crews will appear in the fourth season of Arrested Development. Word on the street is Mitch was looking for the two most physically opposite people possible and ended up with Isla and Terry. No word yet on what they'll be doing, but don't be surprised if it involves Terry using Isla to do single-arm bicep curls.
Mitch Hurwitz spoke with Vulture, in his first interview since they started shooting the next season of Arrested Development. Mitch couldn't give away too much info – other than, at some point, Michael will walk through a sliding door – but he did expound upon how the show will be different:
[Netflix chief content officer] Ted Sarandos and I have really spent a lot of time finding the ideal way to tailor the show to their platform and I think we have something that embraces the new medium.
He continued:
The episodes are an outgrowth of the design of what we hope will be the movie. They precede [...]
Ron Howard continues to be your top source for all your Arrested Development behind-the-scenes needs. This photo was tweeted with the caption: "Rehearsing an on-camera moment for the show." Meaning Brian Grazer will be on the fourth season of Arrested Development. Grazer is producing partners with Ron Howard but, unlike Ron-Ho, Grazer didn't appear on the show the first time around. Grazer's appearance further supports the theory that the next season of Arrested Development is going to be about shooting the movie Maeby pitched Howard at the very end of the original run. Check out more photos below:
Ron Howard tweeted this photo from the set of Arrested Development at 12:30am PST. (Literally burning the midnight oil. Well, literally on the midnight part – not the oil part. No one just randomly burns oil on sets, unless they're filming something for Chanukah.) As you can see in the photos below, something is happening at a bar. A BAR! What jokes will happen at that bar, Ron? Ron captioned one of the photos with, "A lot of laughs doing 1st leg of my cameo tonight." 1st leg!? That implies multiple legs, doesn't it? First person who can extrapolate the entire plot of the fourth season via only [...]
