The Arrested Development Documentary Project is a film made by Ad "super-fans" Jeff Smith and Neil Lieberman as a tribute to their favorite show. Made up of interviews with most of the cast and crew (Michael Cera is the only major absence), the doc goes through the history of the show prior to the Netflix deal that resulted in a soon-to-be-aired fourth season. It's definitely fun to watch the gang reminisce, but the film also reveals some previously unknown facts, like that the original pilot script was 70 pages long. The film is available on VOD. Read the fun facts below and try to deduce what they mean for the rapidly approaching Netflix season. 1.

Until we get a new Arrested Development movie - which depending on who you listen to, is on the way sooner than later - we can always reminisce about this high watermark of television comedy through Hulu or by awaiting a new documentary about the show.
Director Jeff Smith created the website ArrestedDevelopmentDoc.com, which provides updates on the status of the project. He's interviewed everyone from Ron Howard and Brian Grazer to cast members Jason Bateman, Tony Hale, Will Arnett, Portia Dirossi, David Cross, Jeffrey Tambor, and more. There are no clips of the the show in the trailer, so that might be a rights issue.
There's no release date or anything, but Smith updated the project a couple of months ago saying that he's wrapped production. Hopefully it'll get a run sooner than later. Check out the latest trailer for The Arrested Development Documentary Project:...
