Summary
- A spec script sale has ignited a bidding war among major studios.
- Filmmaker Megan Park wrote the script, titled 'Die Alive'.
- The project is independently financed with a 2026 shoot planned.

A spec script sale has generated significant buzz in Hollywood, with multiple major studios and streamers engaged in a bidding war for the rights to 'Die Alive.' The script was penned by Canadian filmmaker Megan Park, known for her acclaimed films 'The Fallout' and 'My Old Ass.'
The project is described as having tones similar to 'Big Daddy' and 'Step Mom,' focusing on a woman who discovers her older boyfriend has a family that unexpectedly appears. Despite initial conflict, she finds herself taking on a caretaker role for the children.
Adding to the intrigue, 'Die Alive' is unusual in the current market as it comes with independent financing already in place from FilmNation Entertainment. The film has been greenlit with a planned shoot for summer or fall 2026, meaning production will proceed whether a studio or streamer acquires the rights or not.
