According to Deadline, "Peter and the Starcatchers" has a little ways to go before getting in front of the camera. Screenwriter Jeese Wigutow still has to deliver his latest draft of the script, and there is not a budget in place yet.

But Gary Ross reportedly wants to get moving quickly, hoping to get the film going as soon as possible in 2013.
