Actor Jeffery Tambor, who played Michael Cera's imprisoned grandpa on the show, recently announced, "The movie is going to happen this year, and Michael Cera is on board. Trust me." And a cornered series creator Mitchell Hurwitz has backed up that statement saying, "I'm really optimistic. We're getting close."
Some concern has been raised about getting the series breakout star Michael Cera to sign. He's gone A-List since the TV show ended, but both Hurwitz and Tambor sound optimistic, with Tambor adding, "If I have to call him up and say, 'Get on set right now, young man,' he'll be there."
