Spec Script Deal: “Countdown”

Electric Entertainment acquires science fiction spec script “Countdown” written by Steve Altiere. From Deadline:

A boy fascinated by space travel recruits his friends and an eccentric NASA engineer to hatch an unbelievable plan to try and save his dying father.

Altiere is repped by APA and Hung Entertainment Group.

By my count, this is the 67th spec script deal in 2016.

There were 52 spec script deals year-to-date in 2015.

Spec script deals are up 22% this year over last.
