Spec Script Deal: “Bubbles”

Isaac Adamson sells Black List script “Bubbles” to End Cue with Dan Harmon to produce. From Deadline:

Bubbles tells the story of Michael Jackson’s life and history from the perspective of the pet Chimp which got a close-up view after being adopted by Jackson from an Austin, Texas research facility and given residence at the Neverland Ranch in 1983. He became Jackson’s constant companion until he became overaggressive and was moved to a monkey sanctuary in Florida. The script has been considered a very inventive way to tell an unauthorized story of Jackson without needing permission.

Bubbles was the #1 ranked script on the 2015 Black List. It will produced as a stop-motion animated feature.

Sale Date: March 18, 2016.

By my count, this is the 19th spec script deal in 2016.

There were 25 spec script deals year-to-date in 2015.

Look for my interview with Isaac beginning Monday.
