Spec Script Deal: “Moonfall”

Universal Pictures acquires science fiction spec script “Moonfall” written by Roland Emmerich, Harald Kloser, and Spenser Cohen. From Deadline:

This one is best described as Emmerich’s 2012 mashed together with Close Encounters of the Third Kind, following an unlikely band of misfits who must unite to save humanity when the moon falls out of orbit and hurtles towards earth.

Emmerich and Kloser are repped by CAA. Cohen is repped by WME.

By my count, this is the 33rd spec script deal of 2016.

There were 35 spec script deals year-to-date in 2015.
