Spec Script Sale: “The Samurai”

Warner Bros. acquires action-adventure spec script The Samurai from writer-director Gavin O’Connor and writer Michael J. Wilson. Via Deadline:

The action adventure is about a rogue assassin named Townes Joyce, who breaks out of a Texas jail that puts him on the run from an international manhunt.

Deal worth high six-figures.

O’Connor and Wilson are repped by CAA.

By my count, this is the 70th spec script to sell in 2011.

Only 55 spec scripts sold in 2010.

Spec script sales are up 75% year-to-date compared to 2011.
