1905 Film Network News It's the end of the year again, and the blacklist of scripts has opened its own list as promised. In the selection of many industry insiders, a sci-fi script called "Pure" won the first place and became the champion of this year's script blacklist. The second and third places are "Court 17" and "Pumping Black".
"Pure" was written by Catherine Shetina, who wrote the script for the American TV series "Bear's Diner". Obsessed with the purity of food, the film's story takes place en route to a wedding reception where Hannah's journey to her sister's wedding goes wild when Hannah contracts a mysterious foodborne illness that threatens to destroy her from within. Judging from the brief introduction of the story, the story of "Purity" has the style of "Cannibal Record".
The second-placed "Court 17" is also a sci-fi film. The story happened in a tennis match. A declining tennis pro tries to salvage her career and finds herself stuck in the first round of the US Open, repeatedly playing against the world's top players. The only way to stop the loop is to win the match, and that seems like an impossible task as she is outnumbered by her opponent and keeps losing. In third place, "Injection into the Darkness" is a Tour de France sports film in which a desperate cyclist and his charismatic new team doctor devise a dangerous training program to win the Tour de France. But as the race wears on, jealous teammates emerge, dubious authorities emerge and the rider suffers from paranoia, the two must resort to increasingly darker methods to protect the rider's secrets and his lead. Clearly, the story is a satire on drug abuse by cyclists.
In addition, among the top 20 blacklists this year, sports-themed biopics are not uncommon. "Madden," the biopic about NFL head coach John Madden, who teams up with a suave Harvard programmer to rewrite his fading decline by building the world's first football video game legacy. "Resurfaced" focuses on swimmer Michael Phelps as he cements his status as the greatest Olympian of all time and struggles to build a life and identity for himself outside the pool. The
blacklist of scripts is known as the "barometer of blockbusters" for future movies. Every year, these scripts that have not been filmed become the targets of competition for film studios. The script blacklist system was originally a small voting game invented by professional script buyers in order to improve work efficiency. With the expansion of the market and the increase in the number of scripts, this small voting game has become more and more important, and has even become a rule for evaluating scripts that a considerable number of producers attach importance to. So script blacklisting has also become a business.
Blacklist has had a pretty stellar record in Hollywood. Since its release in 2005, the list has spawned more than 440 films, grossed more than $30 billion worldwide, received 267 Oscar nominations and won 54.
