The Black List (not the blacklist) is a new Hollywood tradition, and a commendable one. It’s a list of the Top 10 unproduced screenplays. Today’s L.A. Times features a story on studio exec Franklin Leonard, the creator of the list who tallies votes from 300 Hollywood insiders to compile the rankings.
In a few short years—the first Black List came out in 2005—the list has become an important way for some overlooked writers to get attention. Not to mention, some of the scripts go on to become movies.
Topping this year’s Top 10 Black List:
