"Jason Bateman has said that playing Michael Bluth in Arrested Development has been the most important role of his career. Arrested Development is being revived for 14 new episodes as a prelude to a planned feature film reuniting the Bluth family. Netflix will stream the episodes in May.  (Pictured Above: Ron Howard, Jason Bateman, Mitch Hurtwitz) Bateman promoted the revived series at the TCAs on Wednesday (January 9), telling Access Hollywood that Arrested Development is as important to him as it is the series&amp;#039; loyal fans. &amp;quot;This is obviously the most beneficial thing I&amp;#039;ve ever done in my career, for my career, the most fun I&amp;#039;ve ever had doing anything in my career, the people I love the most in my career, so all of those things, it was amazing to be able to be with all of them again,&amp;quot; the actor explained. He went on to say: &amp;quot;I had to remind myself that there was a job to do and... there are a bunch of people who appreciate the show as much as I do - the fans - and so I wanted to make sure that it didn&amp;#039;t suck. &amp;quot;And that I [wasn&amp;#039;t] just out there being selfish and being this close to Jeffrey [Tambor] and having fun that day. I wanted to do a good job playing the character too.&amp;quot;  Bateman also revealed details of the first scene he shot for Arrested Development&amp;#039;s new season. &amp;quot;I just remember trying to be as good as I could as quickly as I could because there is so much to say and do,&amp;quot; he recalled, adding: &amp;quot;We were shooting 15 pages a day, at times. On a movie, you shoot two.&amp;quot; Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz previously revealed that season four will follow a new format, with each episode following a single character rather than following the whole Bluth family. &amp;quot;You don&amp;#039;t see them all together until you see the movie,&amp;quot; Hurwitz disclosed.  &amp;quot;I can assure you that the characters are just as damaged, self-involved and self-righteous as ever. The show will look very different.&amp;quot; Watch a clip from Arrested Development below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
