Spec Script Deal: “Jack & Dick”

Hyde Park Entertainment acquires historical drama spec script “Jack & Dick” written by Lee Batchler and Janet Scott Batchler. From Deadline:

…charts the fascinating true story of the little-known friendship between political rivals John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon, from their early years as Senators to the race for the Presidency, leading up to the historic 1960’s televised debate.

The Batchlers are repped by Alan Gasmer & Friends.

By my count, this is the 46th spec script deal in 2017.

There were 46 spec script deals year-to-date in 2016.
