Spec Script Sale: “May You Live in Interesting Times”

Voltage Pictures acquires action spec script “May You Live in Interesting Times” written by Anthony Jaswinski. Via THR:

In a similar tonal vein as Lucy, the recent Luc Besson action hit that starred Scarlett Johansson, May You Live is a female-centric thriller that aims to be stylish and visceral.

The story revolves around a highly trained female operative who works for a ruthless global intelligence organization and who is dispatched to Hong Kong to take out an older associate. A no-one-gets-out-alive scenario ensues when the young assassin realizes she has met her match.

Jaswinski is repped by Paradigm and Circle of Confusion.

By my count this is the 47th spec script sale in 2014.

There were 75 spec script sales year-to-date in 2013.
