Paramount, now owned by Skydance, has acquired Brandon Cohen's comedy spec script, "Bald Eagles," for a seven-figure sum. This R-rated workplace comedy is one of several high-profile deals the studio has made recently, including a UFC broadcasting deal and deals with prominent actors and filmmakers. Cohen's success comes after a challenging personal period, marked by his premature twins' extended hospital stay. The acquisition is considered potentially one of the year's biggest spec script sales and a life-changing event for Cohen.
