Spec Script Sale: “Playing Dirty”

Nu Image/Millennium has acquired the thriller spec script “Playing Dirty” written by Richard Blaney and Gregory Small. From Deadline:

In “Playing Dirty,” a young law student learns to let loose and explore his adventurous side after meeting a sexy and mysterious stranger. After some exhilarating nights of debauchery, car chases and threesomes, things go awry when the student finds himself the target of her psychotic plans.

Sounds like an example of The [Blank] From Hell story type, in this case the ‘blank’ being a “sexy and mysterious stranger.”

Blaney and Small are repped by Original Artists and 59 Management.

By my count, this is the 49th spec script sale in 2012.

There were 41 spec sales last year at this time.

The 49th spec script didn’t sell last year until June 29.

Spec script sales are up 20% year-to-date compared to 2011.
