Yeah, it’ll go on, with or without everybody. According to the article, which didn’t name anyone, > [@](#): > > “Yeah, [he or she] might not do it,” an actor says of this costar. “However, I do know that we will do the project with or without [him or her].” ---

> [@HelloNinja](#): > > My guess is David Cross. He’s kind of a malcontent from what I’ve heard, and didn’t even want to do a TV show the first time around. He was only supposed to be in the pilot but got talked into staying on. I’ve been a huge David Cross fan since the first episode of Mr. Show, but let’s face it, the guy has never turned down a paycheck. Exibit A: Alvin and The Chipmonks (the movie). “Chicken pot, chicken pot, chicken pot pieeeeee” ---

I hope they seal the deal! :eek: ---

I hope the hold-out isn’t Judy Greer. I feel like I never had a chance to say goodbye (to these). ---

> [@Justin\_Bailey](#): > > Personally, while I’m interested to see where they go with the movie, the end of season two and what little of season three left me cold and I still haven’t seen all of the episodes or even the finale. I’m a little hesitant about the movie; I generally don’t like movie-length episodes of sitcoms. But, hey, if there’s one I’m likely to enjoy, it’s Arrested Development. As a series, I felt there was not a single bad episode in the bunch. Through all three seasons, it kept up its energy and witty writing. Quite amazing. ---

Really? You’re missing out on a lot of funny stuff. If anything, watch S.O.B.'s, which is full of references to the show’s impending cancellation. ---

Any chance he’d be the hold out with the new baby and all? Or maybe Portia? ---
