Spec Script Deal: “The Present”

AGC Studios acquires drama comedy fantasy spec script written by Jay Martel. Via Deadline:

The Present tells the story of a young boy who figures out a way to repeat the day leading up to his parents’ separation so he can relive the same day and try to keep them from splitting up. Martel will serve as an executive producer on the project, which we hear is in early development.

Martel is repped by Verve, one of the agencies who signed a deal with the WGA, thereby enabling them to broker this sale.

By my count, this is the 24th spec script deal in 2019.

There were 30 spec script deals year-to-date in 2018.
