FOX SEARCHLIGHT BUYS RED-HOT SPEC "KEEPER OF THE DIARY"

As first reported by Deadline, over the weekend and verging into Saturday night, a fierce bidding war arose around KEEPER OF THE DIARY, a new spec script by Samuel Franco & Evan Kilgore that centers on the untold true story of Otto Frank's struggle to publish the Diary of his daughter, Anne Frank. Young up-and-coming Doubleday junior editor Barbara Zimmerman becomes the champion that he needs in the face of skepticism and resistance around the world.

Evan and Sam are humbled and thrilled to have contributed to this story, and are beyond excited to work with producing partners Lynn Harris and Matti Leshem at Weimaraner Republic Pictures, as well as Stacey Snider and the Fox family, in bringing this emotional journey to the big screen.

More to come soon, and in the meantime, check out the Deadline article here.
