Paramount Wins Six-Studio Bidding War For Erotic Revenge Thriller Spec ‘Over Asking’ From Caroline Dries, Striking Seven-Figure Deal
'Over Asking' an erotic thriller spec from Caroline Dries, has landed at Paramount in a bidding war, Deadline has learned exclusively.
Both streamers and traditional studios were in the mix, as others who made offers included Amazon, Apple, Skydance, New Line and Sony, according to multiple sources, who said that the deal came in at north of seven figures. The deal was described as a heartening reflection of a market that most have been down on, amid the contraction following last year’s damaging double strike, demonstrating that studios are still more than willing to step up to acquire strong material. In addition to steering major studio franchises like The Twilight Saga and Alvin and the Chipmunks, she’s served as producer or EP of films including The New Mutants, Me Before You, Marley & Me and The Devil Wears Prada, among others.
