Spec Script Deal: “Three Hitmen and a Baby”

Lionsgate acquires action comedy spec script “Three Hitmen and a Baby” written by Dave Matalon and Matt Altman. Via Deadline:

Pic’s logline is being kept under wraps, though its title clearly riffs on the classic 1987 comedy Three Men and a Baby, starring Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg, and Ted Danson, about three bachelors whose lives change forever when a baby suddenly appears on their doorstep.

Talk about high concept! It’s like the 80s have awakened and joined us here in the new millennium. Sounds like a lot of fun … and I do love action comedy. Congratulations, Dave and Matt!

Matalon is repped by Paradigm and Gotham Group.

Altman is repped by Parallax Talent Management.

By my count, this is the 20th spec script deal in 2024.

There were 8 spec script deals year-to-date in 2023.
