An edited image of Jason Bateman as Michael Bluth in Arrested Development and Matt Damon.
Matt Damon once showed interest in playing Jason Bateman's character in an Arrested Development movie. The original sitcom aired on Fox from 2003 to 2006 before being canceled. However, it was brought back by Netflix in 2013, and the streamer produced two more seasons of the series. After the fourth season premiered on Netflix, creator Mitch Hurwitz revealed that he was also interested in making an Arrested Development movie.
I remember Matt Damon coming up to me at — I think it was like a Golden Globes or something — and I was so excited to meet him and, and he was a huge fan of Arrested Development, and he was saying, 'You know, I really think I could play, because I hear you guys are doing the movie, I think I could… can I play you?'
Why An Arrested Development Movie Was Never Made Netflix Only Produced Arrested Development Seasons 4 & 5 Close The Arrested Development story follows Michael Bluth, who tries to keep his formerly wealthy family together after his father gets sent to prison. Many critics and audiences deemed the series as one of the cleverest and funniest sitcoms of all time. However, it never drew a lot of viewers, which resulted in its cancellation in 2006 after just three seasons.
Posts Even though it never came to fruition, Hurwitz's idea for an Arrested Development movie sounds hilarious. It would have been very funny for the members of the Bluth family to be played by different actors for a fictional film. However, the movie probably never happened because of season 4's mixed reception. Furthermore, Hurwitz's movie idea came long before Netflix ever showed an interest in producing original movies.
