Spec Script Deal: “Distant”

Amblin Partners acquires science fiction spec script “Distant” written by Spenser Cohen. Via Deadline:

After crash-landing on an alien planet, an asteroid miner must make his way across the harsh terrain, running out of oxygen, hunted by strange creatures, to the only other survivor: a woman who is trapped in her escape pod.

Spenser is repped by Verve and Anonymous Content.

By my count, this is the 3rd spec script deal of 2019.

There were 3 spec script deals year-to-date in 2018.
