Spec Script Sale: “Draft Day”
June 21st, 2012 by ScottParamount acquires comedy spec script “Draft Day” from writers Rajiv Joseph and Scott Rothman. From Deadline:
The script revolves around the general manager of the Buffalo Bills as he spends the day of the National Football League draft frantically trying to get the number one pick for his struggling team.
Ivan Reitman attached as director.
Joseph is repped by Gersh. Rothman is repped by CAA and Kaplan-Perrone Entertainment.
By my count, this is the 61st spec script sale of 2012.
There were 45 spec sales by this date last year.
The 61st spec script sale didn’t occur last year until August 21.
Spec script sales are up 26% year-to-date compared to 2011.
