Spec Script Deal: “Boomtown”

Focus Features acquires drama thriller spec script “Boomtown” written by Matt King. From Deadline:

Story of a slick corporate investigator with a closely guarded secret who discovers a sinister criminal conspiracy in North Dakota oil boom country.

It is the first script deal for King.

He is repped by Paradigm and John Zaozirny (Bellvue Productions).

By my count, this is the 50th spec script deal in 2015.

There were 48 spec script deals year-to-date in 2014.
