On the seventh day, God rested and watched Arrested Development to relax, and came to ask this question at the end of His viewing : "Jesus Christ, who in God's name dared to cancel Arrested Development?". Jesus didn't know the answer. Meanwhile, Satan was developing 'Til Death for the next season.
But now, the show has resucitated, Arrested Development is officially reborn as shooting of episode 4.01 has started on this very day ! Jason Bateman is on set right now.
'Michael Bluth' is shooting his first scenes and he took a photo (touch it with your mouse if you want it to get bigger) :
If I'm not wrong (I'm never wrong), the guy with the moustache and the guy with the black shirt are Anders Holm and Adam DeVine, two of the three stars of Workaholics, the Comedy Central series which ended its third season last Tuesday. If I have to guess (I always guess), I'll say they play ticket officers at an airport (which would coincide with characters getting back together, since season 4 picks up a few years after season 3 and explains in part what happened in that timeframe).
First picture, first glimpse at TV stars (on a Comedy Central series, admittedly, but still) accepting what appears to be very small roles… Being on the long-rumored revival of a show as cult as Arrested Development will definitely attract people (next thing you know, Carl Weathers will beg to have a cameo (in exchange for a plate of stew, obviously)).
With these 10 new gifts coming up in early 2013, we won't have to blissfully smile and laugh at various lines and extracts on Youtube or have to rewatch for the hundredth time the whole series on DVD in order to have our Arrested Development fix.
