How Does Paramount’s Leaked Slate Rank on the Movieline Development Chart?

As you may have seen today elsewhere, a (very) rough look at the status and depth of Paramount’s 2010-11 development slate has found its way online. There is a lot there, folks, but rather than break down one nascent Kathryn Bigelow, Tony Scott on Ben Stiller project after another, this seems like an opportune time to let the scientifically calibrated Movieline Development Graph sort it all out.
