2011’s Black List Reveals The Best Yet-To-Be-Produced Screenplays Around

Chewie

The end of the year often brings with it many chances to look back at the year past, but with this top ten list in particular, it’s time to look forward.

The Black List, the most beloved yet-to-be-produced screenplays this year, has been released, and according to the LA Times, it’s an unlikely narrative that tops the list.

Graham Moore’s debut script for the upcoming film The Imitation Game is tops here. Following the story of Alan Turing, the film looks at the life of the mathematician who became a code breaker during WWII. With names like Ron Howard and Leonardo DiCaprio eyeing the project (David Yates is the last director to be attached to the film), WB appears to have one hell of a winner on their hands here.

Geeks will love Chewie, from Evan Susser and Van Robichaux. The film looks at the making of Star Wars, through the eyes of Peter Mayhew, the man behind Chewbacca. For all intents and purposes, this is one hell of an interesting and varied list, so we are in store for some very special and intriguing films coming our way in the near future.
