The 'Black List' is the annual list of Hollywood's best unproduced feature screenplays. This year 83 scripts from writers, known and unknown, repped and unrepped were voted on by a group of 500 film executives.
Topping this year's list was 'One Night Only' by Travis Braun, which discusses the issue of premarital sex. 'Bust' by Matt Ackels, addresses the health issues regarding silicone breast implants, while a script entitled 'Tony' is a bio on the early life of Anthony Bourdain. Matt Badey submitted a screenplay on the rise and fall of Abercrombie & Fitch called 'King of the Freshman'.
"I look forward to the scripts finding the success and audience that previous annual Black List scripts have found and to watching these movies in theaters, as soon as they're available", says Franklin Leonard, Founder of Black List.
In fact, over the years more than 400 scripts from the annual Black List have been produced, grossing over $28 billion in worldwide box office. Also, they have amassed four Best Picture and 12 Best Screenplay Oscars.
