Jason Bateman is keen to get Jennifer Aniston involved in the Arrested Development movie project.
Aniston and Bateman team up for their new movie The Switch, which is directed by Josh Gordon and Will Speck, and Bateman has admitted that he would like to work with the actress again.
Speaking to MTV the actor said: "Yeah, actually, there's a real good part for her in the 'Arrested Development' movie."
And while Bateman wants her in the movie he admits that she will have to prove herself to get the part: "There's no offers on this one. She's gonna have to sing for her supper.
"I don't know, we'll see if she's available. She's busy. She's pretty famous; I don't know if you've heard of her. She's pretty backed up.
"Hopefully the guy who's in charge will like her for that part because I'm going to suggest her."
The Arrested Development movie has been in the works for some time, which would see cast members such as Michael Cera and Portia de Rossi return to their roles.
Bateman revealed that the creator of the series Mitch Hurwitz is currently working on a script: "The truth is that there's really no significant update beyond ... what [creator] Mitch Hurwitz said a couple weeks ago, which was he's got half the script written.
"He's gotta finish the second half and then the studio's gotta love it and the cast's gotta love it and we all have to ... have time to do it."
