Spec Script Deal: “The Price of Liberty”

Participant Media has acquired drama thriller spec script “The Price of Liberty” written by Michael Russell Gunn. From Deadline:

The spec is drawn from a true story. An American diplomat in Kazakhstan after the fall of the Soviet Union discovers a massive stock of enriched uranium, and it’s a race against time to get it out of the country before potential terrorists get to it first.

Gunn is repped by WME and Principato-Young Entertainment.

By my count, this is the 56th spec script deal of 2016.

There were 52 spec script deals year-to-date in 2o15.
