Spec Script Deal: “Sharp”

Netflix acquires action spec script “Sharp” written by José Padilha and Nicolette Noble. Via Deadline:

The hope here is to launch an original action film franchise set in the world of knife fighting. Sharp follows a group of six knife-wielding assassins who, after a globally-synchronized hit goes wrong, are forced to work together to save themselves and discover who betrayed them.

Writers are repped by CAA and Management 360.

By my count, this is the 13th spec script deal in 2021.

There were 4 spec script deals year-to-date in 2020.
