Spec Script Deal: “Meebo And Me”

Warner Bros. acquires family adventure comedy spec script “Meebo and Me” written by Matt Lieberman. Via Deadline:

In Meebo and Me, a divorced dad goes through great lengths to get his son the hot new toy, an adorable robot. But when the other toy robots rise up against their owners, the dad and his defective robot set out to save his son and the world while building a profound friendship along the way.

Deal was made as part of a “competitive bidding” scenario.

With this deal, Warner Bros. matches its entire 2020 outlay for spec scripts: 1. Let’s hope they buy more. For years, they were the busiest studio when it came to spec script deals. Quiet the last five years.

Lieberman is repped by CAA and Lit Entertainment Group.

By my count, this is the 10th verified spec script deal in 2021.

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