Spec Scripts

by ZaEry | created - 02 May 2015 | updated - 02 Jun 2017 | Public

If it a spec script ends up being an independent or straight to DVD film, I don't count it. Also, note to any people reading this it will take a while to fully complete the list so if you notice a film missing it's because I haven't gotten to the year that film was sold as a spec.
