Crosby Selander’s Bring Me Back sold to Legendary Entertainment in September 2020 after a bidding war. The deal landed in the seven figures, making it one of the highest spec sales in years—and one of the few specs sold for over $1 million from a “new,” unproduced writer in Hollywood history.

After placing in the top 10 of the 2020 Screenwriting season, Bring Me Back was circulated to several Pipeline industry partners, including Kaplan/Perrone, who signed Crosby a few weeks later.

Pipeline judges called the script a “wonderfully sprawling genre hybrid. . . expertly drawn by a writer with a profound understanding of the human condition.”

From Crosby: "I was about to give up on this script [Bring Me Back] and stick it in a drawer … then I placed as a finalist in Script Pipeline, and that all changed. More happened for my career that month than in all the months preceding it."

The sale led to multiple writing assignments for Crosby.
