Just in time for Christmas, the annual Black List of promising unproduced scripts has been released this morning. While this year’s list is about what you’d expect for a collection of scripts voted on by nearly 300 industry execs nmdash; a high number of ‘based on true events’ abound nmdash; there are a few with rather promising premises. For example, Americatown , by Ben Pool, is a crime thriller set in a near-future American expatriate enclave within the city of Hong Kong. Timely! Matt Aldrich’s The Ballad Of Pablo Escobar also deserves a mention for the craziest idea on the list, which is casting the notorious druglord as the protagonist in a battle to protect his family against rival cartels and his government. The list also includes a script by Zach Whedon (brother of Joss), and one by A Nightmare on Elm Street reboot writer Eric Heisserer, among many others. The full list, plus synopses, is available here . While you read, try to find out for yourself which of these titles will almost certainly die during production. My guess is that Cherries will get a far less provocative name, probably something like Father’s Day . The top ten scripts based on the number of votes are: #10 – 28 mentions. DEVILS AT PLAY by James DiLapo #8 – 29 mentions. ME & EARL & THE DYING GIRL by Jesse Andrews #8 – 29 mentions. GLIMMER by Carter Blanchard #7 – 31 mentions. EXTREMELY WICKED, SHOCKINGLY EVIL, AND VILE by Michael Werwie #6 – 33 mentions. WUNDERKIND by Patrick Aison #5 – 35 mentions. STORY OF YOUR LIFE by Eric Heisserer #4 – 39 mentions. RODHAM by Young Il Kim #2 – 43 mentions. A COUNTRY OF STRANGERS by Sean Armstrong #2 – 43 mentions. SEUSS by Eyal Podell, Jonathan Stewart #1 – 65 mentions. DRAFT DAY by Rajiv Joseph, Scott Rothman The full list is as follows: FATHERS AND DAUGHTERS by Brad Desch SOMACELL by Ashleigh Powell GEORGE by Jeff Shakoor AMERICATOWN by Ben Poole MIDNIGHT AT NOON by Nathaniel Halpern THE FINAL BROADCAST by Chris Hutton, Eddie O’Keefe WUNDERKIND by Patrick Aison OUT OF STATE by Eric Pearson THE BALLAD OF PABLO ESCOBAR by Matt Aldrich COMANCHERIA by Taylor Sheridan CLIVE by Natasha Pincus FROM NEW YORK TO FLORIDA by Austin Reynolds STOCKHOLM, PENNSYLVANIA by Nikole Beckwith THE HOOVERVILLE DEAD by Brantley Aufill A COUNTRY OF STRANGERS by Sean Armstrong WHIPLASH by Damien Chazelle GLIMMER by Carter Blanchard TRANSCENDENCE by Jack Paglen THE EQUALIZER by Richard Wenk COME AND FIND ME by Zack Whedon UNTITLED COPS SCRIPT by Blake McCormick MURDER CITY by Will Simmons MONSOON by Matt Ackley MAN OF TOMORROW by Jeremy Slater FUCK MARRY KILL by Neel Shah, Alex Blagg THE PAPER MAN by Sean O’Keefe PESTE by Barbara Marshall THE OUTSKIRTS by Dominique Ferarri, Suzanne Wrubel EX BOYFRIEND OF THE BRIDE by Matt Hausfater THE LIGHTHOUSE by Eric Kirsten BLEEDING KANSAS by Russell Sommer, Dan Frey KING OF HEISTS by Will Staples THE BROKEN by John Glosser WHO FRAMED TOMMY CALLAHAN? by Harry Kellerman GOODBYE, FELIX CHESTER by Max Taxe THE JUDGE by Bill Dubuque EL TIGRE by Aaron Buchsbaum, Teddy Riley HIBERNATION by Will Frank, Geneva Robertson-Dworet CHERRIES by Brian Kehoe, Jim Kehoe THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA by Mark Hogan FLOWER by Alex McAulay THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY by April Prosser TITANS OF PARK ROW by Mitch Akselrad BLACK BOX by David Guggenheim HEY, STELLA! by Tom Shephard DEVILS AT PLAY by James Dilapo OUR NAME IS ADAM by T.S.
