Spec Script Sale: “Triple Time”

Scott Pictures acquires action thriller spec script “Triple Time” from writers Peter Billingsley and Michael J. Wilson. From Variety:

Two-hander follows a broke U.S. marshal tasked with escorting a prisoner accused of an environmental disaster to Washington, D.C. When their transport plane explodes, the unlikely pair must work together to figure out who is behind the conspiracy, which may include one of them.

Vince Vaughan is attached to star.

Deal was brokered by CAA.

By my count, this is the 84th spec script sale in 2012.

At this point last year, there were 91 spec sales.

Spec script sales are down 8% year-to-date compared to 2011.
