Tobias Skeptical About 'Arrested Development' Movie

The back and forth on an Arrested Development movie is back again. Or forth. Whichever, the latest update is that it may not happen. That's what David Cross says, anyway. Cross, who played famed Analrapist Dr. Tobias Fünke on the show (a combination of analyst and therapist), tells TV Squad what many of us may have feared, even with the constant reassurances from Jason Bateman and Will Arnett that the movie would come together. "Way too much time it's been (since the show ended)," he admiited. "I mean, there's so many people involved. Everyone's doing their own thing, you know. And everybody's aged. It's just not going to happen." Added Cross, "I'm sure I speak for everybody when I say we'd love for it to happen, we'd love to work on it, but just I don't think... not going to happen." I'd still like a movie, but I can certainly understand where Cross is coming from. It's getting onto seven years now since the show began, and five years since it went off the air. How long is too long? I think the fact that the question comes up says a lot on its own. And it's better to not ruin the legacy than to press for a movie that just isn't the right thing at the right time. Apparently, creator Mitch Hurwitz is still working on the script. But it's got to be all in or there's really no point.
