Spec Script Deal: Untitled Angela Davis Project

The Firm acquires untitled Angela Davis project written by LaToya Morgan. From Deadline:

Suspected 60s radical Angela Davis, accused of conspiracy in the murder of a federal judge, became the first woman on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted list, became an iconic symbol of an era. After fleeing from authorities, she is eventually captured and must exonerate herself from an all white jury during the racially turbulent early 1970’s.

Morgan is repped by CAA and Echo Lake.

By my count, this is the 25th spec script deal of 2016.

There were 28 spec script deals year-to-date in 2015.
