Spec Script “Incidents” Sparks Fierce Bidding War – What Dark Secrets Lie Within?

Searchlight acquires psychological thriller spec script “Incidents” written by William Gillies. Via Deadline:

While unconfirmed, we’re told the film is about a woman who escapes from an attempted abduction with no clear motive, vowing thereafter to find her kidnapper and discover why she’s been targeted. No word yet on other creative attachments, but sources said there were 11 offers on the material.

11 offers! That is the very definition of a bidding war.

Congratulations, William! He is repped by Casarotto Ramsay & Associates and Kaplan/Perrone.

By my count, this is the 14th spec script deal in 2025.

There were 14 spec script deals year-to-date in 2024.
