Pitch Sale: “Untitled Alien Invasion Project” [F. Scott Frazier]
I normally only note pitch sales on the @ScreenwritingMC Twitter feed, but this one is special. Per TheWrap:
F. Scott Frazier has moved from selling spec scripts to selling pitches: Universal has purchased the young writer’s pitch for an alien invasion movie for a mid-six figure price.

Frazier’s work is hot. He sold his first spec, “The Numbers Station,” in 2010. John Cusack and Malin Akerman star in that movie, which completed filming last month. Content Film is distributing.
Warner Bros. bought his spec “Line of Sight” last spring. Joel Silver is set to produce that movie, which Ben Affleck will direct and star in.
Scott is not only a super talented writer, he’s also one of the good guys, and part of a fascinating group of young, dynamic Hollywood scribes who are helping to fuel the current spec script and acquisition market [much more on this in the next few weeks].

Congratulations, Scott, on your continued success!
