Ron Howard Tweets “Arrested Development” Production Photos

“ITS ALIVE.”

That was Ron Howard’s way of assuring fans of the critically acclaimed and beloved “Arrested Development” that the show has started production on its fourth season. He tweeted a photo of the writers room on Tuesday evening, complete with sticky notes covering the walls of a room, full of what we can only assume are potential Tobias Funke quotes.

He followed that tweet with a second photo, featuring actor Jason Bateman (Michael) and show creator Mitchell Hurwitz.
