Mitch Hurwitz Wants Peter Serafinowicz For The ‘Arrested Development’ Movie

However, Mitch Hurwitz, who worked with Serafinowicz on Running Wilde, hasn’t forgotten about the Brit comedian. Instead, he reveals that he’s “saved” Serafinowicz for the movie. Hit the jump to hear what he had to say.
The casting report “was absolutely true at the time,” Hurwitz clarified. “I’ve saved his part for the movie. I love Peter. He’s so funny.” But first, the film has to get greenlit. “[The movie] is not definite because it’s not my decision,” Hurwitz said. “It would be like me saying, ‘I’m definitely going to make a James Bond sequel.’ I may want to, but other people get to weigh in on that.”
Fun as it would be to Serafinowicz yukking it up with the Bluths, though, fans are likely more concerned at this point about whether Hurwitz can actually wrangle the main cast together than they are about what other famous people he can get on board. Much of Season 4 was filmed in front of a green screen because scheduling was such a major issue for the actors, at the expense of some of the cast’s famous chemistry. Hurwitz believes that making a movie will help alleviate some of those troubles.
