"Arrested Development" creator Mitchell Hurwitz and his co-executive producer James Vallely are working on a screenplay for the long-awaited feature version of their short-lived but highly acclaimed Fox series. Hurwitz would take on directing duties as well. The film could begin production in the spring.According to The Hollywood Reporter, Imagine, which produced the TV show, and Fox Searchlight are producing the film.Hurwitz had said that he wouldn't start writing a film unless all the main actors, including Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, David Cross, Will Arnett, Alia Shawkat, Portia de Rossi and Jeffrey Tambor, were committed. Getting all the actors together at the same time will prove to be a major hurdle as several of the actors, most notably Bateman and Cera, have seen their careers take off since the series debuted in 2003.
