Spec Script Deal: Untitled Romantic Comedy

Screen Gems acquires untitled romantic comedy spec script written by Chester Tam. Via THR:

The logline is under wraps but is said to explore how a drunken ‪one-night‬ stand leads to a secret relationship that eventually becomes public, surprising both friends and family of the couple given that neither is typically the other’s type. It is inspired by a real-life relationship of Tam’s.

With none of the Big Four agencies making deals now, this has been a surprisingly active week with 3 spec script deals in less than 7 days.

Tam is repped by Underground Management.

By my count, this is the 21st spec script deal in 2019.

There were 27 spec script deals year-to-date in 2018.
