The following is an excerpt from his AOL interview only relating to the Arrested Development movie:
What is the latest with the Arrested Development feature?
I don't think they know when they're going to shoot because there is no script yet. I think it all depends on that.
Why would you be excited to do that movie?
It's just really cool because I love being around those people.
I love Mitch Hurwitz and I think he is going to direct it. He is someone who means a lot to me. He's just a really big inspiration to me. I am really looking forward to working with him as a director.
Also, all those people are really good people. I am excited to get to be around them all at once.
Would the movie cater to the show's new generation of fans?
I don't really know. I think new fans have followed because of DVD. When it was on, it seemed like people kind of knew about it. But it's one of these shows that you have to be watching from the beginning to understand the humor of it, because it's self-referential. It's character-based jokes.
If you were to tune into an episode of the second season, and had no context, it may seem hard to appreciate the humor of it. I think on DVD, it's a different thing, where people can go through at their own pace. That's the feeling I get.
But with the movie, I don't know, it's really hard to tell. But I hope people would go see it.
