So, the Black List came out. It’s an index of the year’s best-liked, not-yet-produced screenplays. More than 250 film executives were polled and it’s supposedly a chance “to get a sneak peak at some of the hottest scripts most people have probably never heard of.” THE DESCENDANTS made the list! Very good news for the writers, Jim Rash and Nat Faxon, and good news for myself, I guess. Here’s the little write-up:

“Based on the novel of the same name by Kaui Hart Hemmings, the film takes place in Oahu, Hawaii and follows a wealthy attorney who learns that his wife had an affair prior to lapsing into a life-threatening coma. While debating whether or not to pull the plug, the protagonist sets out on a road trip with his two troubled teenaged daughters to confront the man his wife was involved with.”

Here’s the full 2008 Black List. Tarantino’s INGLORIOUS BASTERDS looks good.
