Has this story been reported before? There’ve been so many Arrested Development movie stories that I can’t remember. January through March is always a hot time for AD rumors because it’s either that or writing about movies like Season of the Witch (opening today!). Nic Cage doesn’t even look excited about that one and it’s about witches. Anyway, the latest on the AD movie is that ol’ Gingerbeard says it’s still happening, but it won’t be his red pubes in the director’s chair. (Too vulgar?)

While in Chicago promoting his new comedy, The Dilemma, director Ron Howard spoke exclusively with ComingSoon.net and teased a small update on the long-anticipated Arrested Development feature film. “I won’t be directing the ‘Arrested Development’ movie, but Mitch Hurwitz is determined,” he said, “I know we’ve been saying this for awhile, but I’d be really surprised if we didn’t have an ‘Arrested Development’ movie sooner rather than later.” [comingsoon]

Hooray! Sooner is certainly preferable to later! Anyway, I’m not super excited about this project because it’d be nearly impossible for it to be anything but a huge letdown at this point, but if it does happen, I’d rather the director not be the guy currently directing an Allan Loeb script about gay cars starring Kevin James. Hey, maybe they could hire the Photoshop wizard behind the poster:

Look at Kevin James’ forehead, smooth as a baby’s nutsack! And how they Photoshopped the ice cream cone out of Vince Vaughn’s mouth I’ll never know…
