Spec Script Deal: “Chief Executive Dad”

Sony Pictures International acquires family spec script written by Brian Comer. Via Deadline:

The family comedy is about a workaholic high-level business executive with a ‘Type A’ personality who has neglected his wife and kids. When he gets downsized in a corporate merger, he tries to apply his business skills to running his alienated family and meets with disastrous results.

The deal dates from May 14, 2019.

Script is being rewritten by Oscar Torres.

Comer is repped by Larry Robinson at Avatar Entertainment.

By my count, this is the 22nd spec script deal in 2019.

There were 27 spec script deals year-to-date in 2018.
