‘Arrested Development’ Movie, and New TV Episodes, Are in the Works (http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10/02/mitchell-hurwitz-promises-an-arrested-development-movie-and-new-tv-episodes/)
This is just awesome news to my ears. I originally posted a Arrested Development Movie Thread at another site...2 years ago!! We were led to believe that the movie was imminent. And then....nothing. But now, not only do we have a movie coming, but we have new episodes as well, which will lead into the movie. I'm soooooooo happy. Yes, I went with an Orange Link to tie into the DVD Box sets for the series. (http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i266/Chiprocks1/Smilies/0%20All%20Smilies/HTL_smile.gif)

I wanted to post this but wasn't sure where it belonged?
Who noticed Alan Tudyk in the GOB-as-Jesus shot? Or that Lucille is being arrested in what appears to be a bar for maritime lawyers?
-
I was gonna do a separate TV thread, but since this is a lead-in into the * hopeful* movie, I went here instead.

Midnight right?
Will this ever see the light of day on DVD? I need Season 4 to complete my set. I don't know if Netflix will sell this on DVD as it's a cherry to dangle in front of prospective customers to subscribe to the channel. I've searched high and low and have yet to hear anything about a forthcoming DVD Set.
-
FYI, if I was given the choice to watch the season for free or pay 50 bucks for the Set, I would give them 100 bucks instead and tell them to get their f*cking hands off my prize.
-
Well, the first season of House Of Cards is coming out on DVD/Blu-Ray at a somewhat high (higher than HBO DVDs!) price, as well as looking into twen-cen distribution (cable and so on, foreign markets, etc) so I'm sure Arrested Development will be the same. I'm sure I'd buy a set as well. Any true fan would (heck, maybe Netflix can release the first three seasons on Blu as well, I think it's DVD only).
-
I highly doubt that FOX would give up their stake in the series. As dumb as they are for cancelling it, they can't be that dumb to sign away all rights to the show.
-
True enough. 90 minutes left until launch, I think.
-
Don't want to spoil anything but holy cow I'm two minutes in and cackling and chuckling like crazy.

A note from Mitch Hurwitz.

I like the post, but Mitch reeeeeeeeeeeeally needs to work on his handwriting. I had to squint and tilt my head sideways just to get through that. Ack!!! I kid. I know that he is just trying to get his thoughts down as quickly as possible before it disappears. Thanks for this. I want to watch this right now, but I have to burn through a few other things before they expire before I get around to Season 4 of AD.
-
There's a rule in Hollywood: don't let ANYONE know you have good handwriting, otherwise you'll be writing ALL the index cards and signs. So nobody owns up to it.
-
Wasn't sure whether to share this one, but here's a little evidence that the new season might have gotten a BIT too geeky with its' references:

Arrested Development - Season 5 Or A Movie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfjruO_B8YA
If it were up to me, it would be Season 5 over a movie any day of the week. They ONLY reason why I was championing a movie before was because I thought this would be the only way to get my AD fix. I don't think anyone on the planet would choose a movie over another full season of the Bluth Family. With Season 5, we would be getting 13 episodes or so, but with a movie, we'd only be getting 90 minutes, i.e. 3 episodes of content.
Season 5 > Movie
But if we could get both. Now that's something even sweeter!
-
Doing Season Five would be a huge apology to the fans for season four... not that it should be apologized for so much but I think fans really want to see the "old" Arrested Development instead of the character-centric episodes (which I knew would be an issue). And considering the insane amount of contract negotiations for rights and salaries, it seems crazy to do that again for a movie which would have a diminishing return since only fans would CONSIDER going to the theater... most people will wind up watching it on Netflix anyway, why not cut out the middleman?
-
I've been hearing a lot of bad reviews for Season 4, which is very disappointing for me. I kinda knew beforehand that the character specific episodes would feel off, especially when the original run was all about the entire family more or less in the same room. With that out of the way, and Season 5 a possibility, this will have enough breathing room that they can work on a more streamlined schedule for all the actors so that they can be on the set at the same time rather than shooting everything out of order, weeks apart.
-
I'm holding off on my opinions of good/bad because of "A Bit Of Fry And Laurie." The first time I saw season three I didn't like it, it was totally different than the first two, they got rid of recurring characters I loved, the look had changed, all of that... but now I watch them just as often as I watch seasons one and two-- which is a LOT. And I didn't get Arrested Development at first either. Plus, I've only seen the new season once, and AD just gets better the more you watch it.
What it's like is seeing an old friend after a long time-- you think things will be the same, and they sort of are but they sort of aren't. And it takes some work to get a new balance going.
-
I immediately 'got' AD when it premiered. I got all the inside jokes, everything. I knew exactly what Mitch was doing and became a HUGE fan from day 1. I went out and told all my friends that this was going to be the next 'Big Thing'. Unfortunately the ratings told a different story and those friends I tried to get to watch, wouldn't bother to give it a try. F*ck 'em!
-
All the problems with the new season come from the new format, even though they do amazing things with it-- I feel that if it WASN'T "AD," people would be singing a different tune. And if we do get a Season Five, I think that'll change people's opinions on it (the ending of the season, actually, is SURE to annoy people-- but I think it invites a rewatch since there's questions that aren't answered immediately).
But there ARE some brilliantly funny things going on with the new season, tons of great cameos (the cast of Workaholics, Bruce McCollough, Keri Russell!) but the best stuff in AD comes from the family interacting with each other (who else but the Bluths could have a one-word argument about bees?) and because they're all separate, we're not getting that as much.

Well, I KNEW that there would be a fan-edit of the fourth series, the second they announced the one-character-per-episode format I knew some die-hards would re-cut it to feel like the old seasons, but I had NO IDEA that anyone would do it that quickly. That's gotta be some kind of record.
-
I will definitely watch the original cut before diving into the fan edit version. Still waiting on news for Season 4 on DVD, in spite of the negative reaction by fans.

Arrested Development to Be a Netflix Movie?- NY Comic Con 2013

Mitch Hurwitz Is Working On A Major Edit To ‘Arrested Development’ Season 4 (http://uproxx.com/tv/2014/10/mitch-hurwitz-is-working-on-a-major-edit-to-arrested-development-season-4/)
What prompted me to look into all things Arrested Development is that for the past couple of days I have been itching to buy Season 4 on DVD as I never saw it on Netflix and the main reason why I didn't had to do with the poor reviews from fans across the globe. It's ironic that the one thing that kept me away is now being addressed by Mitch himself. I don't want to see how it played originally, especially if Mitch and cut the entire season to reflect what we got in Seasons 1-3. So, I can definitely wait a little bit longer to see this new and hopefully improved version. And no, the original Season 4 was never released on DVD. Problem solved.
Just an update on this thread in particular. I've renamed it for Season 4 since the bulk of the talk had to do with said season with only a hint of a potential movie and I've also moved it to the Television's section for obvious reasons. Any future talk about an Arrested Development Movie will go in a new thread specifically for that.
-
There was a chronlogical fan edit that came out the day after the series made it's debut... which is crazy fast considering ow much work that involved. I'm definitely curious to see the Hurwitz version.

Executive Producer Teases More Arrested Development - IGN News
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leQXWXt6lHI
Either my hearing is completely f*cked up or I'm purposely hearing what I want to hear, but did they just say 17 episodes?!
-
Hopefully in proper format and not that character-centric format that we had to cope with (and, I understand, they're re-editing season four into chronological order).
-
It only took three years.

Still waiting to see Season 4. But good news on the new season though.
-
The recut just dropped a couple of days ago and so far it's much better than the original version. It feels like a mix between the original release and the re-edit that came out on Reddit like, a day later. The issue is still that the episodes don't feel like complete stories, which can be a bit off-putting, but I'm hoping that season five rectifies that.
-
Official DVD release?
-
So I watched the new season, or half season, or whatever you want to call it, and... I enjoyed it. The big issue is still that it feels like just one really long episode rather than actual satisfying chunks (especially given the first half of episode one was one long recap), which is a big issue I have with streaming shows. But on the plus side, the show feels much closer to the original show, there's still some really egregious green screening, they revisit or rebuild a ton of old locales (like the visitation room from prison or the banana stand)... but it still feels too far removed, you know? I can't imagine myself wanting to revisit this season as background like I do with the original run.
They do benefit from not having to do as many call-backs like season four did, where they brought back every stray thread to satisfy fans. The quintuplets, Annyong, everything got screen time. .
Lindsey was an issue that I was curious how they would tackle, I think they found a good out for her. But her loss, combined with the cast still having few group scenes together, plus the lack of episodes with endings, makes the show feel more sparse than it probably really is.
-
Really curious why they have changed the format away from what the original run was on FOX. Does it have to do with the "binge" factor of what Netflix is? I would think they can still shoot and edit the series as it was on FOX regardless of where the show is being played at/on.
-
I feel like there MIGHT have been some pressure from Netflix to make it more binge-able, but honestly I don't know. It's a thing that happens quite a bit with streaming services, possibly the confidence in knowing that the audience can watch another episode right off the bat. But it leads to less fulfilling individual episodes. It's sort of like how British shows without commercial breaks (or HBO type shows) don't build in cliffhangers to make you stick around during the commercials, they don't need to, and this one level above that.
The show itself they can film out of sequence, based on the actor's schedules and location availability which makes production a bit easier, they can film the whole thing like one big movie. Which I suppose leads to thinking of the thing as one big movie that can be broken down into chunks. And I suppose that making those chunks more complex by making them complete is far more work than we suspect. I dunno.
I am curious how often people re-watch/re-bunge shows of this nature, as opposed to more episodic series. What brings me back to shows like AD, Star Trek, etc is wanting to see "the episode where so-and-so happens" and then falling into the trap. Thinking about a show as a 13-episode movie is more daunting, less casual. It's a commitment, even if it's a light show.
