Spec Script Deal: “Ascension”

Twentieth Century Fox acquires science fiction spec script “Ascension” written by Shannon Triplett. From Deadline:

It’s a big sci-fi action disaster tentpole that follows a scientist who must save the world after gravity is erased from the Earth’s atmosphere.

So to the people spouting the conventional wisdom you shouldn’t write big expensive sci fi specs because there are only six buyers… one word: “Ascension”.

Tripplett is repped by UTA.

By my count, this is the 51st spec script deal in 2015.

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