Spec Script Deal: “Forgive Me”

Amazon Studios acquires 2014 Black List spec script “Forgive Me” written by Max Hurwitz. From Deadline:

Chronicles the story of legendary newscaster Mike Wallace. While he was building TV news empire Sixty Minutes, he also struggled with a major chemical depression that he kept secret from friends and family until the end of his career.

Writer is repped by CAA and Grandview.

By my count, this is 55th spec script deal in 2015.

There were 61 spec script deals year-to-date in 2014.
