Spec Script Sale: “The Bringing”

In a competitive bidding, Sony Pictures acquires horror spec script “The Bringing” written by Brandon Murphy and Philip Murphy. From Deadline:

The spec’s basis is on a woman, Elisa Lam, who was found dead in the water tanks on the roof of the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles. That’s the place that killers like Richard Ramirez called home at one time or another, and where suicides have occurred. Footage of Lam’s bizarre, inexplicable behavior in an elevator before her death became a massive Internet sensation, and this has been turned into the story of the man investigating her death, and the nightmare he stumbles into.

Here is the video:

Currently over 4 millions views. Already a viral dynamic built into the storyline.

The Murphy siblings are repped by WME and Mosaic.

By my count, this is the 11th spec script sales of 2014.

There were 11 spec script sales year-to-date in 2013.
