Spec Script Deal: “Thug”

Tooley Productions acquires crime drama spec script “Thug” written by Tony Gayton. From Deadline:

Thug follows an ex-journeyman boxer and aging enforcer for a San Pedro Gangster who attempts to get back into the lives of his estranged children and clean up the messes of his past while coming to terms with the ruined landscape of his twenty-year career in crime all the while as the criminal underworld won’t loosen their hold on him.

Gayton is repped by APA.

By my count, this is the 12th spec script deal in 2018.

There were 26 spec script deals year-to-date in 2017.
