Overview
- Paramount Primal announced Friday that it preemptively acquired the spec script Sweet Spot from writers Nic Curcio and Kirby Gladstein.
- The project is described as a high-concept erotic thriller and currently has no producers, directors, or other creative attachments.
- Nic Curcio and Kirby Gladstein wrote Sweet Spot after winning Fantastic Fest’s inaugural Fantastic Pitches competition for their film Play House.
- Curcio’s industry credits and large social-media following, together with the writers’ representation by 3 Arts, UTA and Jackoway, increase their visibility for future packaging and attachments.
- The deal fits Paramount Primal’s slate-building strategy for low-budget genre films and follows the label’s recent moves to develop titles such as Boys for Life and to acquire domestic rights to Wes Craven’s original A Nightmare on Elm Street script.
