As 2023 unfurls its cinematic tapestry, the Black List emerges once again, spotlighting the most captivating and unproduced scripts as voted by film industry professionals.
“This year, the industry was defined by a debate about the value of writers within it, and I think it’s inevitable that this year’s Black List means more than it has in the past,” said founder of the list Franklin Leonard.
He continued, “I’ve been saying that writing is the lifeblood of the industry for almost twenty years now, and I’ll continue saying it until the industry actually starts acting like it. Now that the strikes are over, I look forward to these and other great scripts getting made so I can watch them as an audience member myself.”
Check out the list below.
