Jason Bateman to develop TV series
Jason Bateman is keeping himself busy. Hot off his pilot directing debut with Do Not Disturb, he has signed a deal with 20th Century Fox for a first-look at the new series. Obviously, he doesn’t hold a grudge from the network’s shoddy treatment of Arrested Development.
The new series will be developed under the banner of Bateman’s company, F A Productions. Do Not Disturb stars Jerry O’Connell and it was the only live-action comedy pilot Fox picked up as a new series for next season.
“He did an excellent job on the pilot visually, brought great energy and enthusiasm to it and, as an actor, he really understands how to talk to and motivate actors,” said Gary Newman, 20th TV co-chairman. Bateman is also scheduled to lend his voice to the Fox animated series Sit Down, Shut Up which is scheduled to begin in the fall.
Jason Bateman has come a long way since Silver Spoons. I’m still eagerly waiting for the new season of It’s Your Move.
