Spec Script Deal: “The Miserable Adventures of Burt Squire Aboard the Horn High Yo”

LD Entertainment acquires comedy spec script “The Miserable Adventures of Burt Squire Aboard the Horn High Yo” written by Ben Bolea. From Deadline:

The Miserable Adventures of Burt Squire Aboard the Horn High Yo is fact-based, and follows a family man in the midst of a midlife crisis who embarks on what he hoped would be a dream sailing vacation. He ended up shipwrecked in the Atlantic Ocean with a charming but unhinged sea captain who was off his meds.

Another in a long history of long title spec scripts. Also: Buddy Comedy.

Bolea is repped by WME and Bellevue Productions.

By my count, this is the 54th spec script deal of 2016.

There were 50 spec script deals year-to-date in 2015.
