Spec Script Deal: “The Armstrongs”

Miramax Films acquires action comedy spec script “The Armstrongs” written by Jason Markarian and John Mirabella. From Deadline:

The Armstrongs is said to be in the vein of Mr. and Mrs. Smith meets Taken and explores the premise, what would happen if characters like Mr. and Mrs. Smith were divorced and then had to come together and work a gig?

The logline: “A divorced couple in suburbia have to come out of witness protection when their son is kidnapped and their past catches up with them. They find themselves having to reassemble their old team to successfully complete the mission.”

The deal is for a reported $1M.

The writers are repped by Paradigm and Zero Gravity Management.

By my count, this is the 36th spec script deal of 2017.

There were 37 spec script deals year-to-date in 2016.
