Jason Bateman Reveals Matt Damon Pitched Himself for 'Arrested Development' Film

Bateman shared on a podcast that Damon expressed interest in playing Michael Bluth in a hypothetical movie adaptation of the sitcom.

Jason Bateman disclosed that Matt Damon approached him at an awards show to pitch himself for a role in an 'Arrested Development' film.
Damon, a fan of the sitcom, jokingly suggested he could play Bateman’s character, Michael Bluth, in the movie.
The film's concept, as envisioned by creator Mitchell Hurwitz, would involve Hollywood making a movie about the Bluth family, with actors playing the characters.
Bateman mentioned that while the idea of a movie has been discussed, he doubts there is significant interest in pursuing it.
The original series ran from 2003 to 2006 on Fox and was later revived by Netflix for two additional seasons from 2013 to 2019.
