Netflix In Talks For Another Season Of ‘Arrested Development’ By Angie Han/July 11, 2013 6:42 pm EST One potential hurdle, however, could be scheduling. It was so tough to get the stars together for Season 4 that Hurwitz had to resort to green screen in many cases, arguably to the show’s detriment.

Watch A Proof-Of-Concept Trailer For A TV Series That Doesn’t Exist (Yet) By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 20, 2014 1:00 pm EST In recent years it’s become pretty common for filmmakers to put together proof-of-concept trailers to give studio executives a visual aid for pitches.
