Spec Script Deal: “I Won’t Be Home for Christmas”

Miramax acquires drama comedy spec script “I Won’t Be Home for Christmas” written by Lauren Iungerich. From Deadline:

The plot centers on sixteen-year-old Grace who is given the golden ticket to forgo having to spend the holidays with her crazy family and instead go skiing with her new boyfriend Tad. When Tad unceremoniously breaks up with her before the trip, Grace must return home humiliated with a broken heart to endure her embarrassing family and their ludicrous holiday traditions.

Iungerich is attached to direct. She is repped by ICM Partners.

By my count, this is the 8th spec script deal in 2019.

There were 10 spec script deals year-to-date in 2018.
