20th Century Fox acquires thriller spec script “Underwater” written by Brian Duffield. From Tracking Board:

After an earthquake destroys their underwater station, a crew of six must navigate two miles in the dangerous unknown depths of the ocean floor to make it safety.

Duffield has been on a hot streak lately. Aside from Chernin purchasing his Underwater spec, he was a writer on this year’s Divergent sequel, Insurgent, and is the writer and executive producer of the mysterious coming-of-age horror project, The Babysitter, to be produced and directed by McG. In addition, he’s developing a post-apocalyptic road movie with Shawn Levy, currently titled Monster Problems.
