If I Didn’t Have A Dove In My Pants Right Now…

Stop me if you’ve heard this before. 30-year-old walks into a bar in a quickly gentrifying part of town.  After blending in with completely ordinary anecdotes, conversation turns to canceled cult hit ‘Arrested Development,’ and before you know it, everyone is doing their best Gob Bluth impression. The ice is broken!

Eventually, a couple “there’s always money in the banana stand” later, and some biscuit is leaving her button-clad messenger bag next to your nightstand. The gateway to sex for functioning people with minor social awkwardness.  The show was that good.

And stop me if you’ve heard this before – there may be more material in the works.

At an “Arrested Development” reunion Sunday at the New York Festival, the creators and cast announced plans for a new TV show that spins off the short-lived but critically acclaimed TV show, which went off the air in 2006 after just three seasons. They also discussed more concrete plans for a much-awaited movie.

Creator Mitchell Hurwitz said the spinoff will feature nine or ten episodes focusing on each character and leading up to the movie. The first scene of the movie will be all the characters reunited…

Shooting for the TV show is tentatively set to begin next summer.

The movie doesn’t have a release date, Hurwitz said, adding that the creative aspects have been largely worked out, but the business side is still being negotiated.

“We’re all game,” he said. “We’ve hated being coy, but we’ve been trying to put together this ambitious idea.”

Anyway, My gut is telling me no… but my gut is also very hungry.
