The Black List 2010

Post by Kristatos »

The annual list of the years hottest unproduced screenplays has been released. Some are in development, some are still looking for a buyer. I can't say I see anything in there that makes me want to stand in line for a ticket - there seem to be an awful lot of films "based on a true story" about '80s American politics, for some reason.

I read this when you forst posted it but forgot to comment!

There are some interesting films listed (particularly in the SF/horror genre) , but they are nothing new and are the sort of films I would enjoy on tv or DVD: as you said there are no films that I really want to see in the cinema.

Quite a few films on that list have since been made.

Hunger Games was black listed? :shock:

They made a lot of those movies not sure they should of. Guess its better then remaking the same movie over and over.

No, Black is the surname of the person who created the list of the hottest unproduced screenplays of the year.
