Spec Script Sale: “Padre”

Screen Gems acquires drama spec script “Padre” written by Mike Maples. From Deadline:

A priest, trying to atone for his bloody past as a special ops soldier, witnesses the brutal murder of members from his congregation by a malevolent Sheriff and his deputies. Tortured and left for dead in the desert, he survives. Then, he faces a crisis of conscience and the dawning realization that his past military training and three tours in Afghanistan may have been preparation for what his soul and his heart tell him is right. From there it goes all bad for the crooked cops.

Maples is repped by Luber Roklin Entertainment.

By my count, this is the 22nd spec script sale of 2014

There were 25 spec script sales year-to-date in 2013.
