Spec Script Sale: “Tranquility Base”

Twentieth Century Fox acquires science fiction drama spec script “Tranquility Base” written by Daniel Turkewitz.

Logline: When a global disaster strikes Earth, fifteen astronauts fight to secure a spot in a moon base designed to support only six.

Preemptive purchase for mid-six figures.

Turkewitz is repped by Energy Entertainment.

By my count, this is the 53rd spec script sale of 2013.

There were 65 spec script sales year-to-date in 2012.
