Jason BatemanArticle by Jessica Goebel

Jason Bateman looked adorable as ever on the red carpet at last Sunday's Oscars, but the "Juno" star may have been feeling a little self-conscious about his hair. "He's a weirdo with blonde highlights," Bateman rushed, when asked to explain his character Dominic Foy in "State of Play," which is currently filming -- hence, the Seacrest-esque blonde tips.

As fans of the BBC miniseries on which the flick is based, we are tickled by the casting of Bateman as Mr. Foy, a sleazy weasel prone to gaudy fashion staples like fur coats and tinted glasses. If only his character's fashion cues had affected Bateman's red carpet duds as well as his 'do. Read more...

For one brief, shining moment, it seemed as though the worlds of Hasselhoff cheese and Will Arnett chortles were finally coming together as one. The "Arrested Development" funnyman had been cast as the voice of K.I.T.T. in the new "Knight Rider" TV movie, and visions were already running through our heads of G.O.B. sarcastically telling the new young actor in the leather jacket to deploy his own damn grappling hook.

Unfortunately, Arnett was replaced last week by Val Kilmer, largely because of a conflicting voiceover contract he has with a major car company. When the movie airs this weekend, no one will be able to hear Arnett's velvety voice - unless, of course, you're a regular visitor to the MTV Movies Blog.

Will ArnettIt was barely eight weeks ago that Jason Bateman broke the big news to us: Plans for an "Arrested Development" movie were gaining steam, and the Bluth family hoped to begin cornballing soon after the resolution of the strike.

Now, his older brother G.O.B. is breathing a sigh of relief since Hollywood is going back to work — and he's eager to once again make magic. "Yeah, we’ve talked about it. We are currently talking about it. But not now, because you and I are talking! And that’d be ridiculous," grinned "AD" smartass Will Arnett. "But no, we are talking about making the movie."

The beloved show was unique not only because it was so funny, but in that all the cast members genuinely liked each other. So all indications are that the entire team — from Bateman and Arnett to Portia de Rossi, David Cross, Jeffrey Tambor and Michael Cera — would return for series mastermind Mitchell Hurwitz.

This is the story of a low-rated TV show that cultivated some of the most loyal fans in the history of the medium, and now has a new glimmer of hope. This is the story of a wealthy family who lost everything, and the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together. It's "Arrested Development."

Cue the plucky music, kids, because Jason Bateman and Michael Cera gave MTV some big news this week: The best TV comedy of the last decade is still alive. Read more...

Jason Bateman in 'Arrested Development'Following on the heels of our just-published story on the quasi-reunion of Michael Cera and Jason Bateman in "Juno", I wanted to put up some additional news on what might become an "Arrested Development" reunion for real.

"We would all love to get back together and maybe do something with the show in the future," the former (and possibly future) Michael Bluth said during the interview, revealing that talks are still alive. "But I don't know when -- or how -- that would happen."

"Maybe it could be as a movie or something," Bateman reasoned, saying that the emergence of "Superbad" star Cera -- and improv comedies in general -- have created a more welcoming environment for the dysfunctional clan. "We'll see. We'll let the adults figure it out." Read more...
