Re: Blacklist Experience #1239932
I'm not saying the Blacklist readers aren't competent. I'm not saying readers in general aren't competent.
Just saying that there are plenty of reasons material gets passed on and there's no discernible way of telling why a particular reader passed on it. I don't doubt they know what they're doing but it doesn't change the fact that they might not be the ideal reader for the script. There's such thing as a bad day. Just because a reader passes on a script doesn't mean the script can't find a home elsewhere. Just because a reader recommends a script doesn't mean the script has found a home.
I can have faith in the readers of LA but a reader at smart entertainment (anger management, blades of glory) isn't the same reader at Troma Ent. (toxic avenger).
We have no idea what rubric a reader is using at the Blacklist. Are they made aware of the needs of specific companies or are they reading for all companies and potential producers that could ever exist? Are they saying to themselves, "based on the needs of the clients who have signed up at the Blacklist, I'm looking for X,Y,Z.-? "This would be ideal for Lee Daniels..." etc.
