Spec Script Deal: “Valor”

Amazon Studios acquires action-adventure spec script “Valor” written by Jeff Chan and Andrew Rhymer. Via Deadline:

In Valor, a marauding warrior from a popular video game dies in a freak accident. He is reincarnated in our world and discovers the god he’s always worshipped turns out to be a 13-year-old Asian kid from New Jersey adjusting to life with a single parent. The project is billed as a four-quadrant family movie, repping 87North’s first foray in that space. Word is Amazon picked up the project for high six figures.

This is the third consecutive six-to-seven figure deal for a spec script in the last 12 days joining Sharp and Stay Frosty.

Chan and Rhymer are repped by Verve and Anonymous Content.

By my count, this is the 15th spec script deal in 2021.

There were 7 spec script deals year-to-date in 2020.
