Will Arrested Movie Happen? The Latest From Jason Bateman

Amy in Plano, Texas: Kristin, you’re killing me with the silence! What say you about the revived rumor that there might be an Arrested Development movie?
Trust me, I am just as giddy. (Been scraping myself off the ceiling, which is the only cause for delay, sorry.)
After hearing Jason Bateman tell Keith Olberman that a big-screen version of Arrested Development is “in the works” (while promoting his new movie Hancock, also starring AD’s Rita, aka Charlize Theron), I promptly stalked reached out to Jason for any updates he might be willing to share with the fans. Jason tells me: “There’s nothing new from what was said on Olberman. It’s all in the process of being worked out, and hopefully they figure out a way.”
Please, Santie Claus?
Pals close to the sitch tell me there is no script and that [Arrested boss] Mitch Hurwitz is busy with his new animated series, Sit Down and Shut Up. But it’s definitely on his radar, so here’s hoping he gets things going.
Your mission? To comment below and make sure the decision makers know how much you fans want an Arrested flick. (Bonus points if you email your Bluth-loving friends to do the same.)
I’m no analrapist (an analyst/therapist) like Dr. Tobias Fünke, but seems to me it certainly couldn’t hurt!

Swapping between of selection of sexy outfits, Lindsay Lohan continued work on the set of her new movie “Labor Pains” in Hollywood on Monday (June 23).
In the upcoming comedy, Lohan plays “a publishing house employee who escapes getting fired by pretending to be pregnant.”
In a recent interview with People Magazine, the film’s producer, Lati Grobman, offered her praises, saying:”She’s so natural at what she does. I’ve never seen one take where she’s off. The difference between her and the other girls that are naughty in the business is that she’s actually talented.
Grobman continued to tell: “It’s not [like] Paris Hilton and the rest of them. We took the chance. It’s good that we did. So far, so good.”

Following a press conference and photocall session earlier in the day, Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller made their way to the red carpet for the world premiere of their new movie, “The Edge of Love”.
Held at the Edinburgh Film Festival in Scotland, Sienna looked playful in black fringe dress with a matching bowler hat while Keira opted for a stylish white ensemble with a short sparkly jacket overtop.
At the press conference earlier in the day, Knightley addressed a question asking whether she felt under extra pressure because her mother, Sharman Macdonald, was behind the screenplay.
“Because Shar wrote it, it wasn’t any more or less than normal,” Keira explained, adding that she always gives her best in every movie she makes.
“I’m very, very proud of this film. It’s very, very close to me. But, no, I didn’t feel a particular pressure because she’s my mum.”
