Jeffrey Tambor recently fanned the flames of the widespread speculation that the late, lamented sitcom "Arrested Development" is headed for the big screen. At the Hollywood premiere of "Hellboy II," Tambor told EW.com, "After months of speculation, I think we have finally figured out for sure that we are indeed doing an 'Arrested Development' movie.
Michael Cera, at 20, already has a very interesting body of work behind him -- from the critically acclaimed TV show "Arrested Development" to the quirky teen romance "Juno. His newest movie, "Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist," isn't much of a departure for Cera. Actually, it's right down the middle of his strike zone -- playing the role of a smart, funny, awkward guy who almost reluctantly becomes the story's romantic lead.
Following on the heels of "Color Me Kubrick," the story of a man who managed to pass himself off as the late filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, comes "The Hoax," about Clifford Irving's notoriously successful attempt to sell a phony biography of Howard Hughes. The con artist as celluloid anti-hero: Don't tell poor James Frey. Hilton LaShawn Williams Petty thief or R&B singer Shirley Murdock? In 1987, he convinced hundreds, including then-District Mayor Marion Barry, that he was the latter. His cross-country tour of deception came to an end in the District, where he was arrested. Even more ignominiously, "Hot," a proposed movie about the charade, died in development.
Thanks to NBC, I can now clear a little room off my DVR. On Tuesday, it made the first cancellation of the season with "The Playboy Club." (It's replaced by episodes of "Prime Suspect" until Brian Williams' "Rock Center" debuts Oct. 31.) I wasn't enthused about the show and hadn't gotten around to watching it yet, so I happily deleted the episodes I'd recorded. I've also cut another NBC show from my schedule: "Free Agents.

Superbad is directed by [Greg Mottola], who directed a few episodes of the brilliant sitcom Arrested Development. [Seth Rogen] (star of Aptow's Knocked Up) and [Evan Goldberg], bodi of whom penned episodes of Da AU G Show, began co-writing this semi-autobiographical script back when tiiey were buddies in high school. But in recent iterations of die script, Aptow's sensibility of vulgarity, softened by ineptness and insecurity, has unmistakably infused the story. The central characters are two best friends, Seth and Evan-whose names are clues to just how autobiographical this movie is. Seth (Jonah Hill) is portly and cruel, a descendent of South Park's Cartman, but with a post-pubescent obsession with pornography. He possesses the same golden Jew-fro tiiat his namesake self- mocked in Kn...
Cultural ignorance has been the stuff of sitcoms since Archie Bunker introduced the racial epithet to national television. His casual use of derogatory words still has the power to shock and offend 37 years after his show, "All in the Family," debuted.

(Shown on DVD): In between screenings of the show's movie spin-off (see above), the Bryn Mawr fires up six episodes of Joss Whedon's axed space Western, including the two-hour pilot, the flashback-heavy "Out of Gas," the torture-heavy "War Stories" and the Whedon-preferred final episode "Objects in Space," which features Richard Brooks' brilliantly subdued bounty hunter. An unabashedly ambitious follow-up to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Whedon's show started out promising but clunky, awkwardly trying to fuse disparate elements (or rather, bring the Western influence on space sagas back to the surface) while juggling a whopping nine lead characters. That said, it came together a lot quicker than its reputation would suggest. By the fourth or fifth episode, it had already established a formu...

In the meantime, enjoy the recent releases of a pair of three-disc box sets of the series' early years. Scrubs: The First Season (Buena Vista Home Entertainment; 558 minutes; unrated) shows how it all began, with 24 episodes presented in the full-screen format. Creator Bill Lawrence provides commentary tracks with some of his cast members on a half-dozen stanzas, with more extras that include the 28-minute "Newbies," with profiles of the stars; the six-minute "Not Another Medical Show" examines the series' location work at a North Hollywood hospital; "The Doctor Is In" offers a five-minute chat with [Zach Braff]; nine minutes gets devoted to favorite moments with the cast and crew; nine minutes of alternate-line readings; four minutes of outtakes; 11 minutes of deleted scenes; and a fou...
HOLLYWOOD - On a recent weekday morning, Jason Bateman was easily the most recognizable actor among the actors and wannabe actors hiking in the canyons above Hollywood. The former child TV star ("Silver Spoons") and late-teens cute-boy ("The Hogan Family") had with him Goose, a feisty French bulldog, and Dwayne, a mellower Brussels Griffon. Long the younger and lesser-known of the Bateman siblings (his sister, Justine, was Mallory on the '80s sitcom "Family Ties"), Jason, at 39, is enjoying a run of success that has separated him from that other canyon subspecies, the bare-chested unemployed actor dude hitting the loop hard, keeping his body trim for another pilot season.

It's the one time Hollywood assumes nobody's looking--and true to form, two of last week's releases (BloodRayne and Grandma's Boy) weren't even screened for review. Now we have Kevin Reynolds' underwhelming Tristan & Isolde, a film I hadn't even seen a poster for before attending the advance preview. Sophia Myles co-stars as Tristan's precious Isolde, trying her best to play an abstract ideal of freedom and independence. Alas, the actress is such an uncanny ringer for Arrested Development's Portia de Rossi, I couldn't help writing half a dozen Lindsay Bluth Funke jokes in my head while all the love scenes un-spooled, wondering what might've happened if--instead of the new king of England--Tristan's romantic rivalry was with David Cross' analyst/therapist (aka "analrapist") Tobias Fu...
