Spec Script Deal: “The Fishermen”

Voltage Pictures acquires action drama spec script “The Fishermen” written by John C. Richards. From Deadline:

The original story centers on a soft-spoken Vietnam-era top sniper now dying of cancer who becomes a vigilante killer with the help of a sympathetic policeman.

Richards is repped by APA.

By my count, this is the 27th spec script deal in 2018.

There were 40 spec script deals year-to-date in 2017.
