Spec Script Deal: “Doppelgänger”

Skydance acquires thriller spec script “Doppelgänger” written by Aneesh Chaganty and Dan Frey. Via Deadline:

While the story is being kept secret we hear it’s an original take on the spy thriller, with the potential to be a franchise-starter. We’re told there are two very meaty lead roles for an actor and actress. The team secured a seven-figure deal, which is notable in the marketplace since there aren’t any cast attachments yet.

Frey is represented by TFC Management. Chaganty is repped by CAA and Entertainment 360.

Deal announcement date: June 3, 2025.

By my count, this is the 9th spec script deal in 2025.

There were 13 spec script deals year-to-date in 2024.
