The 2010 Blood List

First there was The Black List:

THE BLACK LIST is a snapshot of the collective taste of the people who develop, produce, and release theatrical feature films in the Hollywood studio system and the mainstream independent system.

An annual list of Hollywood’s most liked unproduced screenplays published on the second Friday of December each year, THE BLACK LIST began in 2004 as a survey with contributions from 75 film studio and production company executives. In 2008, over 250 executives contributed their opinions.

Since its inception, dozens of screenplays that appeared on the list have been optioned, produced, and released, many to great commercial success. Two of the top three screenplays on the inaugural 2005 list — JUNO by Diablo Cody and LARS AND THE REAL GIRL by Nancy Oliver — went on to be nominated for Best Original Screenplay at the 2008 Academy Awards, with JUNO winning the Oscar.

Now there’s The Blood List, one dedicated to the best unproduced horror script. You can go here to download the 2010 version.

Any of you who have read scripts on The Blood List: Do you agree with the rankings? Which scripts are your favorites?
