Spec Script Deal: “Bury the Lead”

Elston Films acquires 2013 Black List script “Bury the Lead” written by Justin Kremer. From Variety:

Kremer’s screenplay centers on a talented journalist who, in his life-long quest for a Pulitzer Prize, fabricates the truth to create a compelling murder story. When his concocted conspiracy becomes real, right and wrong become entangled as he fights for his safety, career and family before time runs out.

Kremer’s script “McCarthy” also made the Black List in 2012. You may read my 2013 interview with Justin here.

Kremer is repped by CAA and Madhouse Entertainment.

By my count, this is the 1st spec script deal of 2016

There were 2 spec script deals year-to-date in 2015.
