Spec Script Sale: “Captain Nemo”

Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Entertainment acquire action adventure spec script “Captain Nemo” written by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. From THR:

Sources say president of production Michael De Luca made a pre-emptive move for the spec, which offers a new take on the iconic antihero who was first introduced to readers in 1870 in Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. Nemo also appeared in the author’s The Mysterious Island and Journey Through the Impossible. Nemo is a scientific genius who roams the depths of the sea in his submarine, The Nautilus, which was built on a deserted island.

Gough and Millar are repped by CAA.

By my count, this is the 29th spec script sale of 2014.

There were 52 spec script sales year-to-date in 2013.
