Spec Script Sale: “Cherries”

Good Universe options R-rated comedy spec script “Cherries” from writers Jim Kehoe and Brian Kehoe. From Variety:

“Cherries” follows three naive dads who set out to stop their daughters from making good on a pact to lose their virginity on prom night.

Love it. Clean high concept. Target audience: Teens and adults. Compressed time [one night] translates into pace and action. Low budget. If someone had submitted this logline for The Quest, I would have picked it immediately, no question.

The Kehoes are repped by WME and DMG Entertainment.

By my count, this is the 85th spec script sale in 2012.

At this point last year, there were 95 spec sales.

Spec script sales are down 12% year-to-date compared to 2011.
