I’m glad to read any news about “Arrested Development” star Jason Bateman (he seems like a good guy) — and the latest word is that Jason Bateman will direct a FOX comedy pilot called “The Inn.”

“The Inn” is a multi-camera comedy that will star Niecy Nash in what is described as “Upstairs/Downstairs set at a hip New York hotel.”

You may know Niecy Nash from her hilarious role as Deputy Raineesha Williams on “Reno 911.”

Jason Bateman will direct “The Inn,” which was written by Arrested Development’s Abraham Higginbotham. Here’s hopin’ Jason Bateman will make a cameo!
