Breaking: “Abduction” spec sells

Yesterday Deadline Hollywood reported bidding war brewing over spec “Abduction”:

The sluggish spec script marketplace will get a jolt today as Hollywood majors battle over a drama that has Hollywood’s highest paid and hardest working teen Taylor Lautner attached to star. I’ve learned the new lit agency Verve sent out the script by its client Shawn Christensen last night — and already two studios are ready to bid when the auction gets going at 9 AM PT today. Called Abduction, WME client Lautner plays a teen who has long felt disconnected from his parents, and figures out why. That unleashes a chain of violent events and enters Bourne territory.

Sources reporting DreamWorks bought it.
