EXCLUSIVE: In a deal worth mid-six against seven figures, Dimension Films acquired Garden District, a spec script by Tony Jaswinski & Luke Goltz. Garden District is a low-budget horror thriller about a trio of self-declared mythbusters who get in over their heads while investigating what they think is just another hoax. It involved a mysterious video of a vampire’s execution that goes viral, and the mythbusters head to New Orleans to see if it’s phony.
David Kirschner and Corey Sienega will produce and Matt Signer will oversee it at Dimension. Kirschner, Sienega and Jaswinski previously set up Kristy at Dimension. The scribes are repped by Circle of Confusion’s Lawrence Mattis and Ashley Berns, and attorney Peter Grossman.

nice to see some action in the spec market. and other than the weinsteins all involved are great people. nice to see the good guys score one.
Good for David and Corey.
So is this a “real” sale? Lots of activity in the spec market these last few months leads me to believe that the spec sale still has some life. Too bad my reps say differently. Thoughts?
There is indeed life in spec sales. What your reps are really saying is: “We don’t believe we’ll make any money off your work specifically in spec sales.” You’ll have to (diplomatically) go over their heads to change minds. They’ll be on board when you start to make money selling by yourself.
It’s funny…although, not really…. ’cause it’s true!
h-mm… low-budget vampire film .
it’s look like trash .another B movie.
Corey Sienega rocks!!!
Jaswinski and Circle of Confusion also did the low budget Vanishing on 7th Street which might have been better with just a little more budget for the special fx.
This will end up in development hell and Dim will reneg on the whole deal.
