Spec Script Deal: “Delilah”

Screen Gems acquires thriller spec script “Delilah” written by Harrison Query and Tommy Wallach. Via Deadline:

In a pre-emptive sale, Sony’s Screen Gems tonight acquired the spec thriller Delilah from screenwriter Harrison Query and his writing partner, Tommy Wallach. The script is in the vein of Gone Girl and has a strong female lead. Screen Gems is fast tracking.

This represents the third spec script deal announced in the last five days. Note: All three scripts feature a “strong female lead.”

Query and Wallach are repped by Verve and Ground Control.

By my count, this is the 3rd spec script deal in 2021.

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