The Black List was compiled from the suggestions of over 300 film executives, each of whom contributed the names of up to ten of his or her favorite scripts that were written in, or are somehow uniquely associated with, 2018 and will not have begun principal photography during this calendar year.
It has been said many times, but it’s worth repeating:
The Black List is not a “best of “ list. It is, at best, a “most liked” list.
Enjoy.
