Universal Pictures has paid mid- to high-six figures for Don’t Go in the Water, a Peter Gaffney spec script that has 21 Laps’ Shawn Levy and Dan Levine and Lit Entertainment’s Adam Kolbrenner producing with Adam Rodin.

Script, being called a suspenseful monster movie, is the first spec deal for Verve since the agency agreed to the WGA Code of Conduct. Gaffney is a New York-based writer who previously set up the sci-fi specs Harvest at LeVision Entertainment and Terrestrial at Lionsgate. He is represented by Rodin at Old Soul Entertainment, Verve and McKuin Frankel.

Matt Reilly and Lexi Barta will oversee for Universal.
