Spec Script Sales: “The Legacy” and “The Return of the Magi”

Per Variety:

Double Nickel Prods. has acquired a pair of spec scripts from high-profile mystery authors: “The Legacy,” by Gregg Hurwitz, and “The Return of the Magi,” by mother-and-daughter team P.J. Lambrecht and Traci Lambrecht.

“Legacy” is a drama wrapped around a perfect crime centering on a mother in her 30s and her two amazing boys.

“Magi” is a Christmas story about a young African-American thief and two off-kilter women who think he’s the third of the three Magi and lug him across the desert to Las Vegas.

By my count, these are the 25th and 26th spec scripts to sell in 2010.
