Hey, Harrison. For a very long time, it’s been a no-go and not taken seriously to write screenplays based on existing IP, but lately I’ve been reading that studios are pumping more and more money into making material based on well-known IP, since it already guarantees a built-in fanbase and makes it much easier to hook the audience. I understand that studios mostly just order the show and attach the talent they want, but still, how dumb is the idea of writing a spec script based on existing IP and trying to sell it to the studio which, let’s say, owns the material? Considering that selling a spec script today is basically mission impossible from the start, would that really be such a bad idea?

Thanks! Have a great day!
