Arrested Development's Mitchell Hurwitz is remaking a Lars Von Trier movie (not Antichrist)
As Mitchell Hurwitz continues to tease an Arrested Development movie with a frustrating “Hey, if it were up to me…” sort of attitude, The Wrap reports that he’s currently developing a remake of Lars Von Trier’s The Boss Of It All, about an IT company owner who invents a fictional supervisor on whom he blames all his most unpopular decisions. Thematic similarities with Hurwitz’s real life aside, The Boss Of It All actually sounds right up Hurwitz’s creative alley: Like so many episodes of Arrested and, more recently, Running Wilde, it’s a comedy about a complex web of lies that comes crashing down when a prospective buyer demands to meet this supervisor, and it even involves the favorite Hurwitz plot device of hiring an actor to play him “with wacky results.” It’s also a Lars Von Trier movie that doesn’t involve something horrific happening to women, so even better.
