After years of waiting and weeding through the rumor mills, Mitch Hurwitz finally uttered words we longed to hear. Arrested Development, a show taken from us too soon, would finally be made into a movie. As fans started re-watching the series, they wondered what would happen when Arrested Development finally became a film. Although we probably won't know until fall 2013 (provided Hurwitz can keep it under wraps), here are some things that this AD fan thinks may happen on the big screen. . . or at least what I'd love to see.
A Huge Mistake: Considering this phrase made it's way to the Bluth family crest, fans can expect so major trouble for the motion picture. But with George out of jail and Saddam Hussein dead, what's left for trouble? When we last saw the family, Lucille was on the run, or swim since she was on a boat. Hopefully the movie will follow up on this scandal and we will see Lucille dining on ice cream sandwiches in the Big Doll House.
Ahn Nyeong On Top: During the series finale, fans also learned that Ahn Nyeong was more than the Bluth's adopted son. Turns out, the Bluths stole the idea for the banana stand from Ahn Nyeong's grandfather. Perhaps the movie shows his sweet, sweet revenge. I'd love to see Ahn Nyeong running s-it at the Bluth Company, or the newly named Nyeong Company. Preferably by rebuilding the big yellow joint and working the Bluths like the sweat shops of his homeland. Maybe he'll even bring back the lethal cornballer.
Franklin and Gob Go On Tour: Although Gob Bluth defines failure, and his failure defines hilarious, nothing would make me happier than seeing Gob making it big with his brown brother Franklin. This dynamic duo provided many laughs during the final season and proved how far Arrested Development could push the envelope on inappropriateness. Hell, maybe Franklin could act as Gob's magician's assistant.
The Dysfunctional Funkes: Next to Sammy and Roni, Lindsay and Tobias may be the most f-cked up TV couple. But unlike their Jersey Shore counterparts, Lindsay and Tobias love each other (deep, deep down) and their issues aren't worthy of a domestic violence suit. I can't wait to see this dysfunction on the big-screen, but just how will it play out? I can see some silly issue that causes them to separate, yet again. To win her back, Tobias revives the role of Mrs. Featherbottom, which actually lands him a role on TV. Personally I don't care about the details leading to the separation, as long as Mrs. Featherbottom comes back.
George and Buster's Bachelor Pad: With Lucille behind bars and no one to nag them, these two Bluth men are bound to let loose. I imagine empty beer bottles and juice boxes laying around the penthouse. I see Lucille Two wandering from room to room to her house. But eventually the fun takes it toll, the men realize they miss their favorite b-tch, and they take a turn for the worse. Buster zippering his mom's old dresses and George cuddling her favorite brand of vodka. I can see this meltdown and it looks hilarious.
Kids Keeping it Incestual: Given the five year gap, George Michael and Maeby should either be in college or out in the real world. Well, let's be honest. Maeby probably never went to college. Ideally, she's posing as a high paid position at another movie studio or maybe even some other thriving industry (Twitter perhaps?). Regardless, George Michael still pines for his cousin/not cousin and is working on a way to win her back once and for all. But a certain hot football player may stand in his way. A football player who goes by the name Steve Holt (insert fist raise).
Michael Being Michael: Whether the above plots come true or stay a fantasy, the Bluths will most likely land on their a-ses at the beginning of the film. And who will they need to pick them back up? Good old Michael Bluth. And though he may say he's done helping and that he's moved on, we all know Michael loves to come in and save the day. Seeing as this was the main plot throughout the series, we know it will continue in the movie.
So what do you think will happen when the Bluths make it to the big screen? Maybe a Never Nude rehab center? Or perhaps George and Oscar have a final duel for Lucille's heart? Leave us your predictions and we'll see who gets in right.
