    If anybody has any of these scripts, PM me.

    Okay, bad joke.

    Apparently, true stories/real people are big this year. All You Need is Kill reminds me of Source Code.
    Nobody's perfect.

          No, not true. That's why "the Hitlist" was created, just to showcase specs.

          The Social Network by Sorkin was previously on the list, along with many other adaptations from established writers

              Shotgun Cinders didn't make it. But then, I didn't expect it to. That's one hell of a tight list. Hope one of us DD'ers made it!

                Unfortunately. I'd rather hear some original ideas.

                  Nice to see my manager's name associated with the #1 script. Intimidating as hell, but nice.

                        Congrats to those on the list. Great to see Noah Oppenheim twice on the list. I've known him for over 10 years.

                          I had read one of The Black List scripts about nine months ago, and it needed a lot of work. Very cool concept, but it was clearly an early draft and couldn't have survived beyond the concept.

                          There is some disclaimer at the beginning of the BL that says these aren't the best scripts but most liked. It's entirely possible another version of this script is out there, but I don't see how the script I read could be well liked.

                          Again, the concept was very interesting but the script was almost incomplete.

                          So what are the execs voting on? Quality of script? Idea? Social relevance? All of the above?

                          Anyone know?

                            Well, nine months is plenty of time to write new drafts, and to allow the latest draft to circulate.

                            Not saying this is the case, but it's well possible.

                              Really interested in Gangster Squad by Will Beall. L.A. Rex was great.
