От началото на историята на този сайт, всяка година обръщаме специално внимание на един от най-интересните списъци – на непродуцираните сценарии, като Франклин Ленърд продължава да работи по своеобразната база данни и „Черният списък” за 2018 ще бъде тринадесети по ред. Прави впечатление сериозният брой идеи за биографични филми – на най-различни личности, от създателите на Snapchat до бащата на сестрите Винъс и Серина Уилямс. Гласували са около 300 представители на индустрията.
До момента филмите, създадени по сценарии от предишните „Черни списъци”, са спечелили 10 награди „Оскар” за сценарий; четири от тях са сред десетте последни носители на най-престижната награда на Американската киноакадемия – „най-добър филм”. Сред най-новите заглавия са „Аз, Тоня”, „Вестник на властта” и „Всичките пари на света”. Съвсем в духа на стремежа към равнопоставеност на половете в индустрията, една трета от пренебрегнатите сценарии за 2018 са написани от жени, а повече от 40% от проектите се движат от екипи, съставени от дами.
Тенденцията творбите, застанали начело на списъка, да събират все по-малко „точки”, продължава – припомняме, че „Игра на кодове” през 2011 има 133 гласа, а все по-често в последните години цифрите преди заглавието и анотациите са в пъти по-малко – те индикират гласовете, които е получил съответният сценарий.
Ето и тазгодишните „печеливши” (в оригинал):

Звучи доста интересно и може да излезе нещо смислено от това.
хаха, тва с хамбургерите напомня малко като консепт на https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4411234/?ref_=nv_sr_1, което е абсурдно нелеп филм ;д
