Will the spec market ever be like the golden age of the 90s again? You used to see a sale every week, where big sales were common place. More projects were in development and a wider variety of projects, non-IP....
Producers, however risk averse, are constantly looking and will invest when they feel there's a return on investment. It's not the '90s but it was a different landscape back then.
Are there fewer specs coming out in Jan this year? Seems like new spec posts on the TB main page are few and far between. Maybe everyone's writing TV pilots?
