The recipients of the 2023 Black List have been announced and they include all manner of different stories. The Black List, first published in 2005, celebrates the best screenplays that have yet to be produced.
This year’s top script is “Bad Boy,” a script that tells the story of a rescue dog who suspects his new owner is a serial killer. Other scripts being celebrated include Kirill Baru and Eric Zimmerman’s “The Great Pretender,” a film that sounds like “Being John Malkovich” in the sense it tells what happens when Tom Hanks is kidnapped and his doppleganger is forced to step in for him.
