The Extract star, who admitted last December that he wasn't sure if the script was finished, has said that the series creator Mitch Hurwitz has been too occupied with television work to write a film.
The 40-year-old actor has suggested that a screenplay could be in the near future and that "it is not dead. There is no reason to think that it is dead," Slashfilm reports.
Bateman said: "It could be as early as the next six months or as late as 18. Mitch hasn’t told me what he has in mind. As fans of the show know, you can look at the very last scene of the last episode, which kind of dovetails into what the film could be.
"Maybe pitches to Ron Howard the idea about making a show about the family. He says, 'No, that wouldn’t work, but maybe a movie'. Read into that what you will."
