Paramount Pictures acquires mystery thriller “Murder in the White House” written by Jonathan Stokes. Via Deadline:
The President is murdered during a private dinner, and a female Secret Service agent has till morning to discover which guest is the killer before a peace agreement fails and leads to war.
It’s Knives Out set in the White House. Talk about perfect timing culturally!
Preemptive deal worth a reported mid-six against seven-figures.
Stokes is repped by Management SGC.
By my count, this is the 2nd spec script deal of 2020.
There were 6 spec script deals year-to-date in 2019.
