Spec Script Sale: “XOXO”

Lionsgate buys thriller spec script “XOXO” from Black Swan writer Mark Heyman. From Variety:

An on-the-rise executive, who despite being engaged, enjoys flirting online. He meets an alluring woman on Facebook and the two begin a virtual relationship, but as the line between online temptations and real-life possibilities begins to blur, the executive soon discovers that his Internet relationship is seeping into his actual life in a deadly way.

Similar psychological territory to Black Swan.

Heyman is repped by CAA and Management 360.

Sale Date: October 26, 2011.

By my count this is the 88th spec script sale in 2011.

In 2010, only 55 spec scripts sold.

In 2009, only 68 spec scripts sold.

One more spec script sale to report today.
