Get Ready For The 'Arrested Development' Cast Reunion Panel

Admit it. You know you'd love to be a fly on the wall just before the Oct. 2 New Yorker Festival in NYC when the "Arrested Development" cast finally feeds the elephant in the room and asks one another: "How do we handle the movie question?"

It'll be the thing to which every fan will demand an answer when the complete cast convenes for the "Bluth Family Reunion" panel moderated by The New Yorker television critic Nancy Franklin.

Tickets to the even went on sale today at noon, via the offial New Yorker website, according to Reuters this morning.

The panel will include castmates Michael Cera, Jeffrey Tambor, David Cross, Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, Portia de Rossi, Tony Hale, Alia Shawkat, Jessica Walter and series creator Mitchell Hurwitz. The Bluth Family will be joining other confirmed celebrity festival guests including Amy Poehler, David Cronenberg, Ellen Barkin, Owen Wilson, Zach Galifianakis, Paul Giamatti, the Scissor Sisters, Aziz Ansari and Chris Colfer, as well as writers Janet Malcolm, Jonathan Franzen and Malcolm Gladwell.

As Screen Rant reported last month - though admittedly taking the news with healthy skepticism after years of movie rumors - an alleged brief plot synopsis described a scenario in which the Bluths learn that their bizarre antics are being developed by director (and "Arrested" narrator) Ron Howard into a big-screen project with an A-List cast. Not to be outdone, the Bluths decide they'll just develop their own movie.

It's been a pet project of Hurwitz's since the series' 2006 cancellation by Fox. However, Hurwitz himself had expressed earlier this year his commitment to giving the Bluths one last ride together.

“I don’t like to toy with the affections of our fans. They’ve been so supportive and we’re so grateful, so I kind of hate to answer [the story] question until I can say, ‘Yep, we’ve shot it, it opens next week’. Otherwise it feels like we’re toying with people and we do not mean to do that. It has just taken a while to get it going," Hurwitz said.
