Jason Bateman's Wild Week: Arrested Development Movie Pitch, SmartLess Mobile & Netflix Domination
Jason Bateman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Jason Bateman has been making headlines across entertainment and business news this week. The biggest buzz came from Bateman’s appearance on Conan O’Brien’s “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend” podcast, where he revealed that none other than Matt Damon once pitched himself to play Michael Bluth in a movie version of Arrested Development. Bateman detailed the hilarious moment they met at the Golden Globes, sharing Damon’s enthusiasm for the show and his desire to step into Bateman’s iconic role if the long-rumored film ever got made. Bateman noted that the proposed movie would have played with a movie-within-a-show concept, but shot down hopes of it becoming reality any time soon, bluntly stating he thinks it’s done according to Entertainment Weekly.
On the business front, Bateman, alongside SmartLess podcast buddies Will Arnett and Sean Hayes, launched SmartLess Mobile, a new mobile phone service designed to save consumers money. Bateman described the venture to PEOPLE as an organic extension of their podcast brand, admitting he and his partners were new to the telecom industry but were drawn in by the fun of learning something entirely different.
Career-wise, Bateman’s presence on Netflix is stronger than ever. He just starred in the company’s film Carry-On and will next appear with Jude Law in the limited series Black Rabbit, premiering September 18. Bateman plays Law’s no-good brother, set against the high-pressure world of New York nightlife, promising another darkly charismatic performance, as reported by IMDb. And that’s not the only television gig in the pipeline. Deadline reports Bateman is set to star in and direct a Netflix series adaptation of the article “Daddy Ball,” which dives into the wild world of competitive youth sports parents with a dark comedic twist. The project reunites Bateman with Aggregate, his production company.
In personal news, Bateman was recently seen out with his rarely-photographed, now grown-up daughter, which Parade covered as a sweet moment highlighting his private family life. On the social side, Bateman continues to be a supportive friend in Hollywood circles. US Weekly and The News report that he and his wife have given their seal of approval to Jennifer Aniston’s new romance with British author Jim Curtis.
No major controversies or unconfirmed rumors have surfaced. The focus remains on Bateman’s steady career evolution, his creative and entrepreneurial collaborations, and a refreshingly candid look back at his long career, including the pressures he felt supporting his family as a child star. These moves, which include stepping into new business territory and expanding his streaming footprint with major projects, all but solidify Bateman as one of Hollywood’s most active and versatile forces as of late July 2025.
