‘Arrested Development’ Creator To Direct Non-‘Arrested Development’ Movie

Elliott’s original article delved into the world of semi-professionals who make a living by serving as test subjects for pharmaceutical companies, medical schools, and hospitals. Lennon and Garant’s film is described as a “sophisticated comedy” about one such subject, who signs up for a drug study and experiences some strange side effects.
On second thought, maybe it’s not so different from Arrested Development after all. I could see Buster offering himself up for just such a thing, and Teamocil’s numerous side effects were a plot point on the show.
Lennon and Garant most recently wrote and directed Hell Baby together. Prior to that, they co-created Reno 911! and co-wrote Night at the Museum. As of earlier this year, they were attached to direct Paramount’s Baywatch reboot.
Hurwitz is definitely best known for creating Arrested Development, but in between the show’s cancellation in 2006 and revival in 2013 he’s also developed the series Running Wilde and Sit Down, Shut Up. He recently said that he hopes to make an Arrested Development movie before returning to Netflix for Season 5.
