    Found this!

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    Apparently in the new season for quite a few scenes characters are just superimposed with each other. I'm worried how stilted it will feel.

    http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/sources-claim-arrested-development-used-green-screens-to-edit-the-actors-into-scenes-due-to-scheduling-conflicts

    Rivals Lucille Bluth (Jessica Walter) and Lucille Austero (Liza Minnelli) share the screen in at least one scene in the new season, but the characters, who are shown interacting in a restaurant, were not in the same room together, according to one source.

    For that scene, the source described Hurwitz reading, off camera, Walter’s parts while Minnelli filmed her lines. The footage was later combined with footage Walter filmed alone. The result, says this source, is a mixed bag.

    “It does look kind of like the Austin Powers stuff — you can tell that it was green screened,” said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

    Knowing Arrested Development they'll have written in gags making fun of the way it was filmed.

    "Oh Lucille, it's so good to see you."
    - "I know, it feels like we haven't sat down together for ages."
    "It still feels like that for some reason."

    yada yada (imagine a funnier version of the above for proper effect to be achieved)

    Hmm, I reserve scepticism for anything reported from 'a source'; It could work, but it depends on how well they can fake the chemistry & reactions to the zingers

    That said I could well believe it; it was reported ages back that they couldn't get all the cast together at the same time, but I had just presumed they would keep everyone separated.

    Watched a couple of episodes (going to try and space them out a little) and it definitely has some funny moments. Not sure about the flashbacks with Seth Rogan / Kirsten Wiig as George & Lucille though.

    Oh and there are a couple of greenscreen moments, where actors clearly weren't sharing the screen; its not too distracting, as otherwise absent characters are kept in the background as body doubles (turned away from the camera)
