On Monday, we broke down the 2010 spec script sales by genre. Tuesday by studios. Yesterday by representatives. Today we look at the deals with the biggest payoffs (at least as reported by various news outlets):



All You Need is Kill — Action

Dante Harper — $3 million



Snow White and the Huntsman — Fairy Tale Action

Evan Daugherty — $1.5 against $3.25M



Abduction — Thriller

Shawn Christensen — High-six figures against seven



Dark Moon — Science Fiction Drama

Olatunde Osunsanmi — High-six



Fun Size — Comedy

Max Werner — Mid-six



Killer — Thriller

Kenny Golde — Mid-six



The biggest one All You Need Is Kill is unusual in that the writer wrote a script on spec based on a Japanese novel. Obviously paid off for him. You can read about that deal here.



Tomorrow we look at those writers who broke into the business in 2010 by selling a spec script.
