Universal has come out on top in the bidding war for Section 6, the hot spec script by Aaron Bergthat jolted the market this week.
OUR EDITOR RECOMMENDS
While all the studios were in the mix, including high-profile producers such as David Heyman and Mary Parent, it came down to Sony and Universal by late in the day Friday. The script went out earlier in the week, sending execs into a frenzy since companies were not allowed to immediately bid on it.
By midnight, Universal was the winner, paying $1.2 million against $2 million with a progress to production set in motion after a rewrite step. Marc Platt and Adam Siegel are on board to produce with Lawrence Grey.
