Black List 2016: 73 gli script che quest'anno “non ce l’hanno fatta”, in testa il film su Madonna negli anni 80

Sono ben 73 gli “unproduced screenplays” della Black List del 2016, che classifica gli script più apprezzati dai dirigenti dell’industria cinematografica che tuttavia non si sono evoluti in progetti messi effettivamente in cantiere.

È sempre interessante tenere d’occhio la Black List annuale in vista di potenziali progetti che potranno avere semaforo verde in futuro. Titoli di quest’anno come Arrival o Manchester by the Sea hanno fatto parte delle black list degli anni passati.

In cima alla lista, Blond Ambition di Elyse Hollander. Il progetto segue Madonna nella New York degli anni 80 mente tenta disperatamente di far uscire il proprio album, facendo i conti con un’industria musicale che spesso sfrutta le donne.
