Spec Script Deal: “Bismarck” (2014 Black List)

Universal Pictures options 2014 Black List script “Bismarck” written by Jared Cowie. From Deadline:

During the darkest hours of WWII, a British naval officer, raw from the loss of his ship, is thrust into the thick of the hunt for the most formidable Nazi battleship to ever set sail: the Bismarck.

It is an option deal. This is the first deal for Cowie who is repped by Benderspink.

By my count, this is the 5th spec script deal in 2015.

There were 7 spec script deals year-to-date in 2014.
