Spec Script Deal: “Here Comes the Dark”

Paramount Pictures acquires supernatural thriller spec script “Here Comes the Dark” written by Carey Van Dyke and Shane Van Dyke. Via THR:

Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer and her production banner Lab Brew.

In re-upping the deal, the studio has also picked up Here Comes the Dark, a supernatural thriller spec script by Shane and Carey Van Dyke, the duo who co-wrote the 2022 thriller Don’t Worry Darling. Anderson Beer and Lab Brew will produce.

The Van Dykes are repped by CAA and Kaplan/Perrone Entertainment.

By my count, this is the 6th spec script deal in 2024.
