Exclusive: MajorJazz, a development and finance company with ties to Wall Street and Silicon Valley has acquired The Black Room, a paranormal horror spec about marriage, deceit, and the constant intrusion of the past into the present written by Grady Hendrix and Nicholas Rucka. The inspiration for the script came from Hendrix’s experience in New York City taking incident reports at parapsychology research organization in New York City. Rucka is an editor currently working on This Is Us.
The indie will be produced by Jon Shestack (Before I Fall) and Michael Richter and James Shifren of MajorJazz.
Set in the 1970s, The Black Room is a story about two rivals – Tom, a disgraced parapsychologist still grieving over the loss of his wife and Peter, his former mentor, now a professional debunker – who investigate a small-town medium who claims she can speak to the dead. Does she really have a gift?...
