02.25.09 MICHAEL CERA FINALLY STOPS COCKBLOCKING
Just like every other douchebag, I loved Arrested Development. I don’t necessarily think it needs to be a movie, but that doesn’t matter, because the headline “Arrested Development Movie??” has been propping up struggling movie blog traffic for years now. Now EOnline is reporting that Michael Cera, long rumored to be the final holdout in the cast, has signed on.
According to insiders, the movie may go as early as the end of the year, if they can put it together in time. I’m told Mitchell Hurwitz is writing and directing the script, and Fox Searchlight is the studio.
Last we heard from Cera himself, he implied he wasn’t holding out, just waiting for a script. I actually liked that idea. I know everyone’s all “Michael Cera’s a dick! Stop holding out like a dick, you dick!”, but me, I just don’t think “Sure, I’ll sign on, but only if you promise to rush the shit out of the script and direct it like wild dogs are chasing you,” is the right message to send either.

MICHAEL CERA FINALLY STOPS COCKBLOCKING
Arrested Development is also being developed as a Broadway show. It’s generating huge Tony Tone Toni buzz.
The Mighty Feklahr feels that the threat of wild dogs often helps under-motivated employees*.
*particularly at nursing homes

Call me ladies.
I’m glad to hear Michael Cera has finally stopped being a Mr F.
I’m all about appealing to as few people as possible today. Stay tuned for jokes about my ninth grade home room teacher.
You’re in the right thread for that, Stoney.
There’s still plenty of time to fuck this up.
/I understand Michael Bay might direct. Prepare for an exploding banana stand.
Michael Cera just hasn’t been the same since I dianosed him with Williams Syndrome.
Yeah, it was super-bad.
It’s funny that Michael Cera was the last hold out in this cast. Whenever you see him on TV or in an interview or whatever he just seems like Everyday People.
Michael Cera wasn’t holding out, he was just really busy. Had to pick up his dry cleaning, get a haircut, car needed an oil change, stuff like that.
Holding out on me will get you spooge in the hair while you sleep.
I understand Cera was finally convinced by Will Arnett relentlessly doing his chicken impression every time they were together.
I guess Judd Apatow finally stopped accepting oral from Michael so he was like, “I need a paycheck, so why not?”.
Michael Cera agreed to do this because he was afraid Shia LeBoeuf was becoming too popular and there isn’t room enough in Hollywood for the both of them.
I’ve never seen this show either, but I won’t let that stop me from begging the producers to replace Portia diRossi in the film version. Ever since she went full lesbo she looks like she should have Wayland Flowers’ hand up her skirt.
