The script never got made into a movie, but it received much acclaim and placed Slater on the right people’s radars. This is exactly what screenwriter Jeremy Slater did with his original spec Man of Tomorrow. If you love superhero movies and would love to one day write an installment in one of the numerous superhero franchises, writing an original superhero spec can work as an effective writing sample.
Even if the script you write never becomes a produced film, it doesn’t mean it can’t establish you as a writer and what your specialty is to producers and execs in the industry. It’s all about established IPs and superheroes that audiences have a history with, right? But a spec script is about more than just selling a script it’s about creating a calling card for yourself as a writer. Conventional wisdom might discourage a writer to pen a spec script about an original superhero.
