Черният списък на сценариите от 2015

Прегледахме архивите и се оказа, че от самото „операционно” начало най-съвестно всяка година отделяме време и внимание да ви осведомим за прочутия ежегоден „Черен списък” с нереализирани холивудски сценарий, от който нерядко впоследствие се появяват доста добри кинотворби. И както сполучливо отбелязват колеги отвъд Океана – „през декември не всичко е номинации, награди и „Star Wars”. Та в духа на стремежа ни към осведоменост, предлагаме на вашето внимание и списъка от 2015 година.

Тенденцията с „малкото гласове”, които събират сценариите, застанали начело на списъка, продължава вече четвърта година – ще припомним, че „Игра на кодове” през 2011 има 133 гласа, а сами може да сравните от каква „ниска топка” стартира списъка в момента. 250 са кинаджиите-специалисти, които подават заглавията на своите 10 любими и все още непродуцирани сценарии в информационната база-данни на Франклин Ленърд (започнал тази статистика през 2005 година, когато все още е млад служител в „Appian Way” на Леонардо ДиКаприо); той събира гласовете и въз основа на тези изчисления се появяват „най-горещите” – тази година 80 – заглавия.

Според официалния сайт над 225 филма са реализирани по сценарии, попаднали в един или друг момент в „черните списъци”, като те общо са спечелили 35 награди Оскар от 171 номинации (без да споменаваме други отличия…). Ето и тазгодишните „печеливши” (в оригинал):
