Spec Script Deal: “The Prize”

Village Roadshow Pictures acquires thriller spec script “The Prize” written by Chris Sparling. Via Deadline:

The conspiracy thriller follows an American private investigator who travels to Stockholm after the suspicious death of an old friend, a ranking member of the Nobel Prize selection committee, only to become entangled in a dangerous web of corruption and crime that exists beneath the surface of the powerful and rarefied circle.

It is an option deal.

Sparling is repped by UTA and Kaplan/Perrone Entertainment.

By my count, this is the 15th spec script deal in 2020.

There were 22 spec script deals year-to-date in 2019.
