Spec Script Deal: “Escape From the North Pole”

Filmula acquires 2017 Black List script “Escape From the North Pole” written by Paul Laudiero and Ben Baker. From Deadline:

The story follows a young girl who, after being told that Santa Claus isn’t real on Christmas Eve, is kidnapped by an evil elf named Bucklebee. After escaping, the young girl teams up with a good elf, a reindeer and a Russian explorer to rescue Santa from a band of evil elves and save the North Pole.

The writers are repped by WME.

By my count, this is the 14th spec script deal in 2018.

There were 29 spec script deals year-to-date in 2017.
