Spec Script Sale: Untitled Goffigan Project

Lava Bear acquires an untitled thriller spec script from tyro scribe L.D. Goffigan. From Deadline:

They are keeping the logline under wraps. It’s the first sale for the writer, who has been working as an assistant. Three offers materialized when the script went out under the title Intrusion.

The interest in thrillers continues unabated.

Goffigan is repped by CAA and manager Jewerl Ross.

By my count, this is the 9th spec script sale of 2011.

Last year at this time, there had been 1 spec script sale.

That means at the moment, spec script sales are up 800% over 2011.

Of course that rate of sales can’t continue, however 9 spec sales in January, typically a pretty slow month, is remarkable.
