It’s a rough world for screenwriters entering the job field, as a business that many bridges as it builds and shows a lot of cold shoulders. As such, when Hollywood loves someone, it lets them know with dollar signs, not love letters.
Even though the female buddy comedy The Heat won’t be out until June 28, its screenwriter Katie Dippold is glowing with some heat of her own, as Deadline reports she’s already signed on for a new project with The Heat producers Chernin Entertainment and Twentieth Century Fox. So strong is their belief in Dippold’s written work that they’re giving her a deal in the low seven-figures. When a screenwriter earns over $1 million for a script, it usually means the film won’t be a small independent feature.
