Spec Sale Today

[santino2699]

At first I was inspired to see that there was a SPEC sale today. Thinking maybe it was a fresh, young new writer...

Title: He Loves Me
Log line: Being kept under wraps.
Writer: Joyce Brotman
Agent: Ken Greenblatt of Paradigm
Buyer: Warner Bros. Pictures
Price: n/a
Genre: Psychological Thriller
Logged: 12/9/05
More: Spec. Flower Films’ Drew Barrymore and Nancy Juvonen will produce. Barrymore is also in talks to star.

Then I looked her up and her first writing credit was an episode of Guiding Light in...1952!!!!

Holy cow. Good for her. That's got to be the OLDEST spec writer in the market. Way to go, Lady Joyce.

When IMDB lists TV credits, they use the date the show first aired. Not the date the writer wrote on the show.

In that case, she's probably much older than I thought.

Interesting, wondered in a recent thread if Flower Films might dip its toe into the spec market after the new deal, although they have focused on existing properties in the past. So much for that thread! I guess they are buying, afterall.

ps Brotman has a track record in film as well as TV, she wrote the now inactive State of the Union for Columbia.
