Spec Script Deal: “Envoy”

Pascal Pictures acquires science fiction thriller spec script “Envoy” written by Kat Wood. From Deadline:

The character-driven piece is said to be in the vein of Arrival and The Day The Earth Stood Still and is about an elite military intelligence specialist who jumps at the chance to take part in the selection process to become the first-ever human representative to alien life.

Deal is described as a “pre-emptive pick-up”.

Wood is repped by Verve and Zero Gravity Management.

By my count, this is the 56th spec script deal in 2017.

There were 67 spec script deals year-to-date in 2016.
