Jason Bateman has revealed that work has started on an Arrested Development film, reports MTV.
The Juno star admitted the film went on the back-burner during the WGA strike but work will now resume with creator Mitch Hurwitz and producer Ron Howard involved.

"Well, the ball has started rolling down the hill again," confirmed Bateman. "So hopefully, all the adults can get the business stuff together - because all the creatives are on board."

Quizzed about what to expect from the film, the actor admitted "I don’t know".
"I learned a long time ago not to try to guess what Mitch Hurwitz will come up with. But it’ll be good, whatever it is," he added.
Arrested Development garnered several Emmy awards and a Golden Globe but was cancelled in its third season due to poor ratings. Interest in a film version was sparked due to a cult fanbase, strong DVD sales and interest from the TV show's cast.

Bateman will next be seen in the Will Smith superhero film Hancock and the political thriller State of Play.
