Collider: Ron Howard Interview
Are you surprised at the passion people have for Arrested Development, so long after it went off the air?
Ron: I’m gratified by it. From the very first conversations with Mitch Hurwitz, I was passionate about it and always frustrated that the broad audiences weren’t there to really sustain it on network television. But, it’s been incredibly gratifying. You’re always a little surprised when something really takes off.

Ron: Mitch Hurwitz is working on a story on script. He would direct it. Everyone is hoping. We’re not going to go through with anything we don’t think is up to the standards.
Everyone is chomping at the bit for it.
Ron: Me too. I’m chomping too.
Would it pick up where the show left off?
Ron: No clue. I have no clue as to who’s in it or what the storyline is, but every time I get together with Mitch, he gives me these fragments and they’re all hilarious.
Would you still narrate the film?
Ron: Oh, yeah. They couldn’t stop me. They couldn’t hold me back.
