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.”

Meanwhile, Howard fans can check out his return to big-screen comedy when The Dilemma hits theaters on January 14th.
