'Arrested Development' script 'is half done'

Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz has revealed that he is "halfway through" completing the movie script for the series' big screen spinoff.

Speaking at the Television Critics Association press tour, Hurwitz offered an update on the long-in-development Arrested feature film.

"Were writing it; we're halfway through. The reason I've been so cagey is fans have been so [eager about it]. I really want to do it. Jason Bateman gave an interesting quote recently saying, 'When we get it, we'll read it and decide if we want to do it'," The Hollywood Reporter quotes him as saying.

Hurwitz claimed that the project will not be a "big money maker", describing it as a "fun, family reunion".

"It's going to be fun, like a family reunion," he said. "The only stumbling block could be scheduling. Everybody wants to play together."

Asked if he could say anything about the plotline for the film, Hurwitz replied: "That would give too much away."
