Spec Script Deal: “Undone”

Parkes+MacDonald and Black Bear Pictures have partnered to acquire legal thriller spec script “Undone” written by Melissa London Hilfers. From Deadline:

The script has a Gone Girl meets Primal Fear vibe to it. A popular podcast brings a strange, decades-old murder case into the spotlight and leads to a re-investigating of the thirty-five year old murder case, One of the nations top litigators fights to free the man the entire country believes was wrongly convicted, until she begins to suspect her own past might be the key to the murder itself. They expect the script to be catnip for actresses.

Hilfers is a first time writer. The deal was made in a “competitive auction” for a reported mid-six figures.

Hilers is repped by Paradigm and Alan Gasmer.

By my count this is the 16th spec script deal in 2015.

There were 13 spec script deals year-to-date in 2014.
