Hypothetical:
I'm a huge fan of a recently cancelled television program that has enough of a back story to make for a good film. Despite the low percentage of success such an endeavor would likely carry, I decide that I want to write a script for said film.
I assume that if I did this, I would at best only be able to submit this to the owner of the show's rights if I wanted to pursue it.
Say I wrote a fantastic script, does this scenario ever actually happen and do people ever manage to successfully sell these projects?
