For years, fans of the cancelled Fox series Arrested Development held out hope that the ensemble comedy would be brought back to life as a feature film.  It seemed a quixotic fixation, one of those stories that would show up every few months without ever actually resulting in a Bluth family reunion.  Now, six years after Arrested Development last produced new content, it is happening.  Just ask series co-executive producer Dean Lorey.

The unspeakably intelligent and consistently hilarious Fox series Arrested Development was cruelly canceled five years ago, cut down in its prime after just three seasons (more like two and a half, actually).  Since then, the possibility of a cinematic resurrection for the Bluth family has been like a mirage in the desert for fans of the show, an oasis teasingly glimpsed so, so far off in the distance every few months when a castmember, series creator Mitchell Hurwitz, or some anonymous source claims that Arrested Development will begin production somewhere down the line. 

At this point, it's not unreasonable to doubt that we'll ever see Tobias Funke's cutoff jeans on the big screen, but according to Hurwitz, along with stars Jason Bateman and Will Arnett, the movie will indeed happen, along with an abbreviated one-season television revival that would serve as a reintroduction to each individual player in the Bluth saga.

When Fox first cut short the third season and subsequently canceled Arrested Development in 2006, fans placed their fervent hope in the idea that one of the funniest, smartest series ever to grace the idiot box would find new life on a cable network eager to invest in its obvious quality.  That didn't come to pass, obviously, and since then, a cinematic adventure for Bluth family has been like a mirage in the desert.  Every few months, updates arise, usually claiming that a feature written and directed by series creator Mitchell Hurwitz is all but inevitable, reuniting the cast headlined by Jason Bateman.

Way back in February, Hurwitz commented that Arrested Development could maybe, possibly, hopefully happen soon.  Though we've heard not a peep since then, the faithful retain their belief that we could one day see Tobias Funke's cutoffs on the silver screen.  A new, wholly unsubstantiated rumor suggests that the possible Arrested Development film's storyline would revolve around a film about the Bluth family.  Two films, actually.

Cinematic bank robberies tend to either be precise, well-orchestrated commando assault heists or seat-of-the-pants holdups perpetrated by half-cocked dimwits.  In the new comedy Flypaper, the two types of bank robbery collide, with coincidence leading to a meeting of two different categories of would-be bank robbers and a farcical hostage situation.  The first trailer introduces Patrick Dempsey as the leader of one group with Mekhi Phifer commanding the other.  Ashley Judd, Octavia Spencer, Rob Huebel, and Jeffrey Tambor play bank employees caught in the middle, while Tim Blake Nelson and Pruitt Taylor Vince spice things up as the sort of guys who get their best ideas whilst huffing paint.

A significant percentage of lottery winners end up in series financial trouble within just a few years of their windfall, since they never acquire any financial adeptness to accompany their sudden wealth.  Based on the first trailer for Lucky, the big winner played by Colin Hanks manages his money perfectly well, but finds it difficult to avoid murdering attractive blond women.  As concepts for dark comedies go, it doesn't really get a whole lot darker than serial-killing lottery winners.  Check out the trailer for unique-looking comedy, which also stars the inimitable Jeffrey Tambor.

Since 2004's Sideways, actor Paul Giamatti has been the go-to guy to play schlubby, well observed lead characters.  He'll next bring that delightful schlubbiness to Win Win, the latest from writer-director Thomas McCarthy, who specializes in poignant, well observed lead characters.  McCarthy is responsible for the wonderful little character studies The Station Agent and The Visitor.  With Win Win, it looks like he's applying his low key aesthetic to what is essentially a high school sports movie.  Cinematical premiered a clip from the film, featuring Giamatti and Bobby Cannavale conspiring to place a troubled young man on the high school wrestling squad.

One of the many films to premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival is Tom McCarthy’s Win Win, starring Paul Giamatti, Amy Ryan, Jeffrey Tambor, and Bobby Cannavale, who did tremendous work in McCarthy’s debut feature The Station Agent. McCarthy also directed the beloved character study The Visitor, and he co-wrote Pixar’s Up, so he has a faultless track record. Check out a brand new clip of Giamatti and Cannavale attempting to exercise in Win Win.

Synopsis: A battle ensues among groups of government spy teams in an underground facility after their boss is assassinated.
