Spec Script Deal: “Highway One”

DreamWorks acquires action thriller spec script “Highway One” written by Anthony Jaswinski. From Deadline:

A single mother, a retired soldier who returned from Afghanistan with combat skills as well as injuries and PTSD, must resort to extreme measures when her daughter is kidnapped during a cross country trip they take to start a new life.

Jaswinski is repped by Paradigm and Circle of Confusion.

By my count, this is the 71st spec script deal of 2016.

There were 55 spec script deals year-to-date in 2015.

Spec script deals are up 23% this year over last.
