Michael Cera will star in the Arrested Development movie, according to one of the show's stars Jeffrey Tambor.

A feature version of the critically acclaimed but short-lived sitcom was confirmed in November. Creator Mitch Hurtwitz has since suggested that Cera is the only member of the original cast not to commit to the movie.

However, Tambor told the New York Daily News that the 20-year-old will reprise his role as George-Michael Bluth in the film.

"If I have to call him up and say, 'Get on set right now, young man', he'll be there," Tambor remarked. "The movie is going to happen this year, and Michael Cera is on board. Trust me."

Cera's career has taken off since Arrested finished its run on Fox in 2006. He has starred in Juno, Superbad and this week's Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist.
