Spec Script Deal: “Black Choke”

HBO Max acquires neo-noir action thriller spec script written by Doug Simon. Via Deadline:

The script is … about a bank robbery gone wrong.

Back in February 2020, Warner Bros announced that they would make eight-to-ten mid budget movies for the streaming service annually.

Simon is repped by Verve and Writ Large.

By my count, this is the 21st spec script deal in 2021.

There were 13 spec script deals year-to-date in 2020.
