Spec Script Deal: “Back Home”

Artists Film Group acquires science fiction thriller spec script “Back Home” written by Anne Vithayathil. Via Deadline:

The pic is a contained thriller with heavy VFX components and the team is fast-tracking with an aim to go into production in the fall.

“Back Home is a riveting thriller where the audience is always one step behind, guessing what will happen next… if Hitchcock made a modern sci-fi thriller where the audience delights in the created tension… unique mashup of sci-fi and whodunit.”

Vithayathil is repped by Plain Text.

By my count, this is the 13th spec script deal in 2020.

There were 19 spec script deals year-to-date in 2019.
