In early December, we’re releasing the 2016 Hit List, our compilation of the best year’s best spec scripts as voted on by industry professionals. In preparation for its release, we’re taking a look back at the 2010 Hit List writers — where they’ve been, and where they are now.

The journey of comic book adaptations has had its ups and downs but we are living in the Golden Age of the genre. There have been good ones and there have been bad ones. During the Austin Film Festival, Marvel movie writers John Turman, Cort Lane, Edward Ricourt, and Ashley Miller gave their two cents on the difference between the good and the bad.

The “Now You See Me” scribe has a new project set up at Original Film.

Logline: The wife of a Wall Street mogul is possessed by a demon, and goes after her husband.

One final appetizer before the new Hit List drops!
