Spec Script Sale: "Harker"

[Tom & Jerry]

Warner Bros. buys detective horror spec script "Harker" from screenwriters Lee Shipman & Brian McGreevy. Per Deadline:

    The script focuses on Jonathan Harker as the Scotland Yard detective who is tracking Dracula, and the script sets up the sleuth as a potential new franchise character.

    ----

    The writers are hot stuff. McGreevy wrote the supernatural mystery thriller novel Hemlock Grove, a book which just told to Farrar, Straus and Giroux. The novel teams an aristocratic vampire, a werewolf and Frankenstein's monster, and places them in a Pennsylvania high school. As a team, the writers are scripting their pitch Pendragon for New Regency, with Sylvain White attached to direct.

The writers are repped by Paradigm and Mad Hatter Entertainment.

By my count, this is the 2nd spec script to sell in 2011.
