Spec Script Deal: “Courage”

Twentieth Century Fox acquires science fiction spec script “Courage” written by Karl Gajdusek. From Deadline:

Fox has acquired an untitled sci-fi spec script by Karl Gajdusek, the ‘Stranger Things’ EP whose movie credits include Oblivion. Michael Ellenberg will produce in the first film deal for his new Media Res banner. Matt Reilly brought in the project for Fox and will shepherd it. The spec was auctioned under the title “Courage”, but it won’t be called that. The logline’s being kept under wraps, but it’s said to be a character-based sci-fi drama in the vein of Inception and Edge of Tomorrow.

Gajdusek is repped by Verve and Management 360.

By my count, this is the 34th spec script deal in 2017.

There were 36 spec script deals year-to-date in 2016.
