Spec Script Deal: “Pale Blue Dot”

Fox Searchlight acquires drama spec script “Pale Blue Dot” written by Brian C Brown and Elliott DiGuiseppi. From Variety:

The story follows a successful female astronaut who, after coming back home from a mission in space, starts to unravel when confronted by her seemingly perfect American dream life.

The story explores the theory that astronauts who spend long periods of time staring at the Earth from space begin to lose their sense of reality when they return home.

Reese Witherspoon is attached to star.

Writers are repped by CAA and Industry Entertainment.

By my count, this is the 29th spec script deal in 2015

There were 25 spec script deals year-to-date in 2014.
