Get ready to double-exhale, folks: It looks like both the Arrested Development movie and Sin City 2 are finally happening at long last — and both are reportedly set to film this summer. Hurrah! That said, Deadline admits that none of the Arrested Development cast have been inked just yet even as Will Arnett let slip on The Today Show that the long-awaited big screen adaptation was on track for a summer shoot. Meanwhile, Robert Rodriguez’s Sin City: A Dame To Kill For is set to film in Austin, with casting to begin next week. [ Today Show , Playlist ]
Michael Cera updates MTV News on progress of ‘Arrested Development’ movie and new TV episodes. By Josh Wigler, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Michael Cera Photo: MTV News PARK CITY, Utah — Bluth-family fans collectively blue themselves when it was announced that “Arrested Development” would be coming back in both film and television form. Netflix announced late last year that they would be backing new episodes of “Arrested” that would pave the way for an eventual feature film. Despite the good news, fans remain in the dark regarding when “Arrested Development” might actually go back into production. But according to Michael Cera , who spoke with MTV News at the Sundance Film Festival about his new movie “The End of Love,” the Bluth reunion may be coming together sooner than expected. “I’ve heard summer,” Cera told MTV News. “So hopefully that’s going to happen.” Still, like his “Arrested” costars, Cera is of the “I’ll believe it when I see it” school of thought. “It’s hard to be excited, because I don’t feel any progress day to day,” he said. “But I’m sure it’s happening. I think it’s just out of my realm of awareness. I’ll be happy when we’re on set doing it.” Cera’s fellow “Arrested” actor Alia Shawkat also spoke with MTV News at Sundance and expressed her enthusiasm about getting back into the Bluth household sooner than later. “It’s been kind of following me around like a very attractive albatross,” she said of her “Arrested Development” history. “But now it’s hopefully going to happen. It would be very exciting.” The 2012 Sundance Film Festival is officially under way, and the MTV Movies team is on the ground reporting on the hottest stars and the movies everyone will be talking about in the year to come.
