omg he doesn't even like the show

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Modern Family parody?

 

[Fritz]

Due to these not being on Network TV, do we know if these new episodes will be censored like the first 3 seasons? Normally I'm against all censorship (so annoying in Breaking Bad, Southland etc) but the bleeps make this so much funnier.

The bleeps were intentional, like obviously. Just think about "bringing up buster" and the rant on lucille. The bleeps make that scene.

 

[big ander]

Heh this is actually old old art. I've had this art without the fan-added "season 4" part on a poster for like, 5 years.

I always love how they have to cover their mouths in some way during the bleep. Always makes me laugh the ways they do it.

 

[donkey show]

Ugh. The Buster/hand angle was the worst thing about the show.

You're a crook, Captain Hook.

No fucking way.

The worst was Tobias and his increasingly gross hair plug situation.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

LOL I remember being thoroughly creeped out by that. Especially when he can't move and is in the chair.

 

[Anticitizen One]

What happens after Season 4? Is the plan to still make a movie next or just go straight to season 5?

[An-Det]

I expect they're playing it by ear at this point. There've been all sorts of rumors, so we really dont know. If the new season is a success I can see them changing plans one way or the other based on how everyone wants to proceed.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

I wonder how much of the new season is going to be set in the OC.

 

[TUSR]

I caught that it was old art when there was that 'leak' from Netflix, because David Cross has put a lot of weight on since AD aired.

 

[Zebra]

No fucking way.

No way man.

Don't leave your uncle T-Bag hanging!

 

[War Peaceman]

Don't call it that.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Don't call it that.

Fastball right down the middle.

 

[Yen]

Is this airing in the UK the same date as in the US?

I would guess so because House of Cards is airing Feb 1st in UK and US.

Hurwit reveals big story details.

Spoiler

“The bigger story is the family has fallen apart at the start of our show,” Hurwitz says. “They all went their own way, without Michael holding them together, so they’re left to their own devices, and they’re not the most successful devices.”

The season is designed as a “first act to what we eventually want to do, which is a big movie,” though there’s no guarantee it will ever get made.

Spoiler

“Each individual (episode) kind of depicts what happens in 2006 as the Bluths fled from the law on the Queen Mary” in what was once the series’ finale, then explains what’s happened to them since and leaves them in the present day, he says.

“The show will look very different,” Hurwitz says, and is being assembled as a “very, very complex puzzle” from scenes shot out of sequence over many months. The true flavor “slowly reveals itself, as the moment you saw in one show will reappear in another show from a different character’s perspective,” he says. “If people watch it all at once, it will seem like a giant Arrested Development. It’s really tailored for Netflix.”

I love the sound of everything except the idea that this is all acting as a prelude to a movie. A movie has never sounded like a good idea and I still don't see it being a bankable one.

i agree. i hope they nix the movie and instead create another season that could, after this fourth season does its job as a character/story update, be more in line with the original three seasons.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

The idea of the episodes re-telling some of the same things from different perspectives sounds absolutely perfect for the show's layered humor.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

That's because a lot of AD's comedy already came from that kind of storytelling. It's only natural.

Also confirms a tentative May release. Dammit that's too far away, PLUS knowing now that we'll be left with another cliff hanger afterwards makes it even more awful

I will savor every second

 

[el retorno]

I have this poster. Its old

edit: like the post I responded too.

 

[TUSR]

I've never been so fucking excited for a show. AD is my favourite show ever.

 

[mj1108]

This tells me that if we thought AD 1-3 was layered, season 4 alone is going to be insanely layered.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

No fucking way.

The worst was Tobias and his increasingly gross hair plug situation.

You crazy, that's probably my favourite joke of the season. I love how increasingly terrible he looks but also how luxurious his hair is. It's brilliant. And George Michael's reactions to him.

I need to start the show again.

 

[Milchjon]

Does that mean we'll get unreliable narrators? Because that was one of the reasons why early HIMYM was so much fun. I'd love to see what AD will do with it.

 

[madkiller]

Does that mean we'll get unreliable narrators?

Ron Howard usually point them out.

Example:
Gob: We had sex last night
Narrator: But he really didn't
Gob: Yes I did

 

[big ander]

Season sounds great. And while I do dislike the idea of a movie on the surface, haven't they had the script written for it for a long time now? If they've been living with it for that long and still think it's the absolute best path for the show, they must be pretty confident in it. maybe it'd actually be good.

 

[gutshot]

There will be an Arrested Development panel today at the TCA press tour. All the main cast, plus Hurwitz, will be there with the exception of Tony Hale and David Cross. Looking forward to seeing what nuggets of info are revealed.

 

[oatmeal]

Kind of strange how there hasn't been any more set pics.

The first couple of days had huge coverage from bloggers and now nothing...

 

[Socreges]

So they must be done filming?

They probably did all their location filming first and then moved onto the sets and backlots.

So they must be done filming?

They are on hiatus, right? Until Hurwitz figures out what extra stuff he needs to film?

 

[Socreges]

Ah yes

 

[Fantastical]

I don't know, it could be bad, but I would be thrilled to go to the movie theater to watch the Bluths.

Seems to be the case, the order for Netflix originally was 10 episodes. Now it looks like we are around 14 because he had extra footage he deemed reasonable to request the extra episodes. Now hes filling in the blanks and probably writing around what he has to extend his additional footage.

I'm sure there will be articles after the panel, but if you want to follow it in real-time, follow any or all of the following critics on Twitter, as they will likely be tweeting from it.

Tony Hale won't be there? Everyone's going to be laughing, and riding, and cornholing except Buster...

Spoiler

I know that's a weak reference, but that line always makes me laugh.

Man, when the hell is that trailer that was shown behind closed doors going to be released?

Has David Cross lost weight to get back into the role? He got really big in 2011/2012. Or are they going to write that in.

He'll suck it up, even if he has to stop being a chubby.

He got an eating disorder working for them!

 

[Hindle]

They could do some really cool set pieces in a film. I'm assuming thier budget would be increased.

 

[Cornballer]

Netflix just confirmed that there will be 14 episodes to premiere in May.
