Spec Script Deal: “Bed Rest”

MGM acquires thriller spec script “Bed Rest” written by Lori Evans Taylor. From Deadline:

Spec is a Hitchcockian thriller in the vein of Rear Window and What Lies Beneath, centering on a pregnant woman who is isolated and confined to bed rest.

This was a competitive situation with interest from multiple studios.

This is the first deal for Evans who is repped by Kaplan/Perrone.

By my count, this is the 39th spec script deal in 2015.

There were 36 spec script deals year-to-date in 2014.
