Congratulations to all these amazing screenwriters.Former guest and friend of the IFH Podcast tells us all about the list in our interview. His blog is the official screenwriting blog of The Black List.What is The Blacklist?Are you a good screenwriter?

Do you have a script tailor-made for the next box office hit but can’t seem to get it noticed by a super agent or a major production outfit? Your Knight in shining armor could just be Leonard Franklin, the founder of The Black List.The Black List has made a name for itself as the savior of the best, unproduced movie scripts in Hollywood. This is not just an exaggeration. The stats bear that out.Since the inception of the list in 2005, over 300 scripts from the list have been produced into feature films.

With the top-notched screenwriting, it is no surprise accolades for the movies include almost 300 Academy Awards nominations.From those nominations have come 48 awards in categories such as Best Picture for movies like The King’s Speech, Argo, Slumdog Millionaire, and Spotlight.Also, movies made from The Black List have dominated the screenwriting top prize, winning half of the last twenty Oscars in the screenwriting category. Starting The Black ListThe year was 2005. Franklin Leonard, a 2000 magna cum laude graduate of Harvard University, was working at Appian Way Productions. His boss was Leonardo di Caprio. His job was to look for great scripts for the famous actor.From his point of view, he was not doing a great job. So in a last desperate attempt to do something different, he hit on the idea that gave birth to The Black List.He contacted 75 of his peers in other production companies with a simple request.

They should give him a list of their best scripts that never got produced. In return, he promised to send them a collated list of the best, unproduced scripts in Hollywood.He called this collated list The Black List.Since that humble beginning, industry watchers wait in anticipation for the annual publication of the list.

These days, some of the hidden gems in screenwriting can be found on the list. Making The Black ListFranklin Leopard is always quick to tell the world that his list is not about promoting movies or the next big Hollywood box office hit. To him, the story written in the scripts are more important.Even more important than that is the celebration of excellent screenwriting. So screenwriters are the number priority of The Black List.However, the public is more concerned about what makes one screenwriter eligible to get on the list while others never, apparently, get a sniff.To put this in context, over 50,000 scripts are written every year.

Only a fraction of that become movies. And an even smaller number make it to the list.Basically, a pool of over 500 industry insiders is asked to vote anonymously from a list of the best, unproduced scripts. Most of them send in their votes. The votes are tallied and the scripts are ranked according to the number of votes.Scripts with the highest votes make it to the top of the list and so on.Once a script gets on that list, a buzz is created around it. It is just a matter of time before it gets noticed by the people who matter.It is a testament to the importance of The Black List that hit films like Looper (2012), Prisoners (2013), Whiplash (2014), The Social Network (2010), etc., first got public traction there.Below is the list this year. 76 screenplays in all.
