Paramount picks up family fantasy spec script “The Hauntrepreneur” from screenwriter Scott Rosenberg. Via THR:

The story centers on a family that has trouble adjusting to a new town and hires a peculiar man, the Hauntrepreneur, to help it. The man attempts to bring them together by creating a haunted house populated by an odd cast of characters.

Rosenberg is repped by WME.



By my count, this is the 35th spec script to sell in 2011.



In comparison, the 35th spec script didn’t sell in 2010 until August 23rd. Sales are up substantially this year.
