"At last night's Sneak Peek Week Q&A session for "Horrible Bosses" the inevitable topic of "Arrested Development" came up when a fan tweeted the following question for Jason Bateman:
"Do you think after this part [in 'Horrible Bosses' Jennifer] Aniston may get her cameo on the Arrested Development movie?" Sounds like a great idea to us, but sadly, Bateman's immediate answer wasn't exactly encouraging on the "Arrested" front in general.

"I'm always so hesitant in saying anything about the movie", he said. "Because even if I say I have no comment, then that is a headline: 'Jason Bateman Talks About The Arrested Development Movie! He Said He Had No Comment!' I always feel so bad, because we're not trying to perpetuate no news at all. But we politely answer when we're asked, and there is no update."

(No update? That's not what MTV Movie Awards host Jason Sudeikis heard: "You told me you guys had been shooting this for two weeks", he teased.)

Bateman added that the update he gave us back in March — that he'd gotten together with Mitch Hurwitz to discuss the film's story — wasn't really an update at all: "He did, but that's not an update. That's about the story from March."
