Spec Script Deal: “Role Play”

StudioCanal acquires thriller spec script “Role Play” written by Seth Owen. Via Deadline:

Brillstein Entertainment Partners’ George Heller will exec produce, and hatched the idea. Role Play is a stylish thriller revolving around a young married couple whose life turns upside down after secrets are revealed about about each other’s past. There are two strong leads and a franchise-able hook.

This is the 3rd thriller spec script to sell in one-week.

Owen is repped by Brillstein Entertainment Partners.

By my count, this is the 12th spec script deal in 2020.

There were 16 spec script deals year-to-date in 2019.
