Spec Script Sale: “The Architect”

Per SlashFilm.com, RKO buys spec thriller “The Architect” from writer Craig Stiles:

The story follows Mitch Avery, a New York City hot-shot up and coming architect who gets the opportunity of a lifetime — to build his dream building in Dubai. As you’ve seen, Dubai has been ground zero for the most interesting and expensive buildings of the last decade. Anyway, once on the ground on the Arabian Peninsula, all hell breaks loose. Of course, this is just the begining. It turns out everything was a gigantic set-up which results in a chase to find his kidnapped wife Carlie and uncover the bigger conspiracy. I’ve heard that a big director has shown interest in the script. Sounds like an interesting premise.

Can’t find any background on Stiles, so he may be a first-timer. He’s repped by The Bohrman Agency.

By my reckoning, this is the 14th spec script sale in 2010.
