"Arrested Development" Vets to Voice Mitch Hurwitz's "Sit Down, Shut Up!"

Is it too good to be true: a mini Arrested Development reunion?

Well, sort of.

Former Arrested Development cast members Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Henry Winkler will lend their voices to FOX's animated comedy pilot Sit Down, Shut Up! from creator Mitch Hurwitz.

The project, based on a live-action Australian comedy series, revolves around the staffers of a high school who are more preoccupied with their own dramas and issues than those of their students. Also joining the cast: Cheri Oteri, Nick Kroll, Will Forte, Tom Kenny, Regina King, and Maria Bamford.

While it's not quite the Arrested Development news I've been hoping for (say it with me: feature film, feature film), I'll take what I can get, especially if we can find a way to get Bateman and Arnett in a scene together, even if they're just animated...

Can't Wait, Can't Wait, Can't Wait!!!!
Anything with any of the AD cast/crew is something I look forward too, so to have four of them come together in any capacity you know I'll be there
