Spec Script Deal: “Relay”

Original Film acquires science fiction spec script “Relay” written by Macmillan Hedges. Via Deadline:

The details of the script are being kept under wraps but is described as a big Sci Fi tentpole.

Original acquired the script in a “competitive bidding situation” using their discretionary fund through their deal with Paramount.

Hedges is repped by Gersh and Management 360.

By my count, this is the 19th spec script deal in 2021.

There were 9 spec script deals year-to-date in 2020.
