Spec Script Deal: “The Prodigal”

Voltage Pictures and Chris Morgan Productions acquire action drama spec script “The Prodigal” written by Luke Paradise. From Deadline:

The Prodigal is a modern revenge tale of a soldier who returns to his hometown to solve the mystery of his estranged brother’s death.

Paradise is repped by Gersh and Industry Entertainment.

By my count, this is the 26th spec script deal in 2017.

There were 22 spec script deals year-to-date in 2016.

This represents a 15% increase in deals this year compared to last.
