We'd predicted that Michael Cera would be forced to answer for his noncommittal involvement with the Arrested Development movie while at Sundance (where he's promoting his latest film, Paper Heart). Just how evasive was he?

MTV cornered the actor to ask just what exactly was the holdup, and Cera—while fully embracing his unlikely new role as a meddling antagonist—explained that he wouldn't sign on because there's no script yet. Of course, as creator Mitch Hurwitz has explained, there won't be a script until Hurwitz knows for sure which cast members are coming back. What a hilarious, Arrested-worthy Möbius strip of stalled misunderstandings. We are never getting this movie.
