Michael Cera talks ‘Arrested Development’ movie: ‘I feel scared by all the expectations’

Cera said he hadn’t spoken to Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz about the movie “in a while.” More generally, the actor admitted to being apprehensive about the project.  “I feel scared by the all the expectations on it at this point,” he revealed. “People ask me about it a lot. And to make a movie that already has expectations built in before the script is even written seems intimidating.”

On the other hand, Arrested Development fans can look forward to a mini cast reunion in Scott Pilgrim. One of Cera’s costars is Mae Whitman, who portrayed his girlfriend Ann on AD but, in Scott Pilgrim, plays one of the punch-happy “evil exes” of Cera’s new gal pal. “It was great,” Cera said of re-teaming with Whitman. “She’s so funny in this, and impressive too in her fight sequence.”
