Ecco la Black List 2012 – Le migliori sceneggiature non ancora prodotte ad Hollywood

Ecco la Black List 2012 – Le migliori sceneggiature non ancora prodotte ad Hollywood

Di Leotruman

È on-line la Black List 2012, la lista completa di quelle che sono reputate le migliori sceneggiature di Hollywood non ancora diventate film. L’iniziativa è nata da Franklin Leonard nel 2004, e viene stilata ogni anno grazie ai suggerimenti di centinaia di dirigenti del campo. Quest’anno 290 persone vi hanno collaborato, e ognuno ha contribuito a stendere una propria lista (fino a 10 nomi) dei loro script preferiti che in qualche modo hanno letto durante l’anno solare. Pare che ultimamente si sia perso l’effetto naïve iniziale, e sia diventata una vera a propria competizione tra le agenzie, che cercano di spingere il più possibile i propri clienti.

Ricordo che in passato hanno fatto parte della Black List pellicole come Juno (poi premio Oscar), 500 Days Of Summer, ma anche gli imminenti Stoker di Park Chan-wook, Saving Mr. Banks con Tom Hanks e molte altre.

Nella lista ci sono pellicole delle quali è già stato annunciato l’adattamento, come Transcendence di Jack Paglen, che sarà l’esordio alla regia di Wally Pfister, ma anche The Equalizer che avrà come protagonista Denzel Washington.

Ecco l’elenco completo appena pubblicato da Deadline con i voci ricevuti:
