Nice holiday gift to writer Craig Rosenberg as Lionsgate buys sci-fi thriller spec “The Panopticon”:
Lionsgate acquired the project as a spec, and will finance the film and control worldwide rights. The plan is to put it into production next year.In “The Panopticon,” a salesman receives a pre-recorded message from himself that tells him the world is about to end and only he can save it.
Rosenberg is repped by UTA.
BTW, in January, I will be breaking down spec script sales in 2009.
More proof that hard work pay off. Congrats to him!
After reading the logline elsewhere, I wonder if the writer has any idea what a Panopticon is. I don't think he does.
And that annoys me.
Gotta say, though, that's a pretty cool concept. Not outrageously original, but original enough to peak interest.
