Back in the 1980s, if you wrote a great spec screenplay you could wrap it in aluminum foil, place it in a shoebox that was cocooned in duct tape and bury it 8 feet in your backyard and by the next morning you’d have a half-a-dozen Hollywood agents and producers asking you if they could option it.You didn’t have to live in Hollywood, you could be living in your mom’s basement in Missouri – it didn’t matter. Great screenplays got discovered.So what the hell happened?You’d think the internet would amplify this phenomenon, this process where great undiscovered screenwriters with spec scripts would get a chance to see their works get some attention. But it seems the internet has ruined it.Hollywood Spec Scripts was born to showcase spec scripts from the best undiscovered writers with new, original ideas. Screenplays that are worthy of studio production. Screenplays that A-list directors and actors would want to attach themselves to.
If you’re a screenwriter with a spec script that you believe is worthy of getting some consideration, send us a copy for review. If we agree that it’s something that would’ve started a bidding war in the ’80s, we’ll post your script’s title, its logline and your name. And then we’ll make your screenplay and contact information available to actual, vetted Hollywood producers and directors.
If you’re a film producer or director and you’re looking for a fresh, original script instead of another remake of a TV series or super hero movie – then submit your name and contact info and after verification you’ll get access to the best Hollywood Spec Scripts.
Drop that tin foil and duct tape. Hollywood Spec Scripts are back, baby!
