Spec Script Deal: “Infinite”

Paramount Pictures acquires science fiction spec script “Infinite” written by Ian Shorr. From Deadline:

The script is ambitious sci-fi in the vein of Wanted meets The Matrix. The contemporary setting revolves around a schizophrenic who discovers his hallucinations are actually memories of past lives that he can access as well as the skills he possessed in those time periods. The spec is based on The Reincarnationist Papers, an unpublished novel by D. Eric Maikranz.

Shorr is repped by UTA and Bellevue Productions.

By my count, this is the 18th spec script deal in 2017

There were 12 spec script deals year-to-date in 2016.

This represents a 5o% increase in deals this year compared to last.
