Spec Script Deal: “Lift”

Netflix acquires action spec script “Lift” written by Daniel Kunka. Via Deadline:

Netflix moved quickly, after the spec was sent to every studio last night. There’s a strong part for a lead actress. A female master thief and her ex-boyfriend who works for the FBI team up to steal $100 million in gold bullion being transported on a 777 passenger flight from London to Zurich.

This deal pleases me because all the principals involved in selling the script are people I know… and they’re good dudes.

Congratulations to all involved!

Kunka is repped by Verve and Lit Entertainment Group.

By my count, this is the 8th spec script deal in 2021.

There were 2 spec script deals year-to-date in 2020.
