The story of British WWII cryptographer Alan Turing, who cracked the German Enigma code and later poisoned himself after being criminally pros¬ecuted for being a homosexual. It has been said many times, but it’s worth repeating: The Black List apologizes for all misspellings, misattributions, incorrect representation identification, and questionable 2011 affiliations. This year, scripts had to receive at least six mentions to be included on the The Black List.Īll reasonable effort has been made to confirm the information contained herein. The Black List was compiled from the suggestions of over 300 film executives, each of whom contributed the names of up to ten of their favorite scripts that were written in, or are somehow uniquely associated with, 2011 and will not have begun principal photography during this calendar year. And, if you did make the cut, then congratulations: Anyway, climb off the ledge if you’re not on THE BLACK LIST. Also, if you spot inaccuracies, take it up with Leonard: I do not alter his list. Problem is, some screenwriters think this list isn’t on the up-and-up and accuse junior studio execs and assistants along with self-interested agents and managers of getting together to push their own clients on projects even if already abandoned. I’ve noticed that it’s also a “big dick” measuring contest for the Hollywood agencies and their motion picture lit departments. Diablo Cody’s Juno, Nancy Oliver’s Lars And The Real Girl, Scott Neustader’s and Michael Weber’s 500 Days Of Summer, are just some of the screenplays which appeared on The Black List and then were made. THE BLACK LIST does catapult dozens of scripts into production and screenwriters out of oblivion. Compiled every year from the suggestions of hundreds of film executives, each contributes the names of up to ten of their favorite scripts that were written in, or are somehow uniquely associated with, 2011 and will not be released in theaters during this calendar year.

(I covered the screenplay sale here: Warner Bros Buys Spec Script For Leonardo DiCaprio.) Once again, Deadline Hollywood is first to post in its entirety THE BLACK LIST, which for the uninitiated is film executive Franklin Leonard’s hot unproduced screenplay pecking order which he began in 2004. A screenplay titled THE IMITATION GAME by Graham Moore, about British WWII cryptographer Alan Turing who cracked the German Enigma code and later poisoned himself after being criminally prosecuted for being a homosexual, tops 2011′s THE BLACK LIST.
