Rounding up the best unproduced screenplays in Hollywood, as voted on by hundreds of film executives, The Black List has been a strong resource to clue one in on projects to potentially anticipate, but first, to kickstart Hollywood on bringing them to screen. Last year’s chart-topper Bubbles was picked up by Dan Harmon to be turned into a stop-motion film and today we have this year’s edition.
Topping the 2016 edition, we have the Madonna biopic Blond Ambition by Elyse Hollander, tracking her early days in New York City. Elsewhere in the top 20 is the peculiar-sounding meta drama Lax Mandis (we didn’t think the screenwriter is a joke inside Hollywood, too), a drama about Stephen King’s creation of Maximum Overdrive, a film about an attempt to lost one’s virginity to George Harrison, a thriller which finds a bank teller realizing he’s a background character in a videogame, a Carl Sagan love story, and more.
So, as an early look for some potential upcoming films to keep on your radar, take a look at the top 20 below, followed by a link to the full list.
THE KINGS OF MAINE by Kathy Charles
Living with his wife and child in a trailer while working as a janitor, Stephen King struggles with alcoholism and his own dark history as he attempts to complete Carrie.
MAXIMUM KING! by Shay Hatten
An outlandish, surreal imagining of how in 1985 Stephen King wrote and directed his horror classic MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE.
