Arrested Dev movie closer?

From The Hollywood Reporter:

'Arrested Development' film gets closer
Mitch Hurwitz, Ron Howard ink deals for feature treatment

The "Arrested Development" feature has moved closer to reality, with Mitch Hurwitz and Ron Howard reportedly closing deals for the long-gestating project from Imagine and Fox Searchlight.

The possible migration of the critically acclaimed but short-lived Fox series to the big screen has been a hot topic among fans for the past year.

Speculation has been fueled by cast members of the show, including Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Jeffrey Tambor, who have been frequently quoted in interviews that a feature adaptation is in the works.

Hurwitz, who created and exec produced the Emmy-winning series, is on board to write the film as well as direct with help from Howard.

The series, from Imagine TV and 20th TV, was a pet project of Howard, who had a lot to do with its distinct visual style. In the final episode, Howard, playing himself, heard the Bluth TV family's pitch of their story and liked it for a movie.

Last night I was at Target and all 3 seasons were on sale for $14.99. (That's pretty much like selling a Lexus for 500 bucks.)

Hooray! I am once again the proud owner of season 2 and no one is ever going to borrow it.
