Arrested Development Fan Documentary Gets a Trailer
It’s still not quite clear what the current status of proposed Arrested Development feature film is; last we heard, it was moving full steam ahead and there were even rumours of a shoot already happening in New York City, but they turned out to be false. Michael Cera recently came out and said that he does think it will happen, but probably not for a while. The good news is that in the meantime there’s another Arrested Development movie that fans can look forward to. It’s an untitled documentary about the AD fan phenomenon intended to “provide awareness and education of this brilliant, witty and original comedy”.
While I’m generally suspicious of these types of fan-made documentaries, and the project’s official website really doesn’t have anything substantial other than a photo gallery of fans, the fact is they now actually have a “final” trailer for this thing and it showcases quite a few interviews with members of the cast and creative team. As expected, they’re all just talking about how amazing and ahead of its time the show was, but for hardcore fans, that’s probably more than enough. A solid release date has not yet been set, but it seems like they are currently in post-production and hoping to have it ready sometime in 2009. We’ll have more on this as it develops. Check out the trailer after the jump.

I am definitely looking forward to this.
Arrested Development is one of my all time favorite shows.
Posted by Nick D on June 26th, 2009Interesting trailer, but it already looks aggressively self-congratulatory. It feels more like a DVD retrospective than a worthy stand-alone documentary.
Posted by Colin on June 26th, 2009Arrested Development is one of my all time favorites too, except for the the Charlize Theron story arc which was horrible.

Posted by Tobias on June 27th, 2009Business vise, it was not a huge mistake. The show was bleeding money for the network. But some blame should be put on them since they didn’t promote it very well. But I think their biggest problem was that it was too smart for the average viewer.
Posted by swarez on June 28th, 2009This show is the best ever! I want it back on the air. A movie will be great but, it’s really the series I want back.
