The Black List was compiled from the suggestions of over 250 film
executives, each of whom contributed the names of up to ten of his or
her favorite scripts that were written in, or are somehow uniquely
associated with, 2014 and will not have begun principal photographyduring this calendar year.
This year, scripts had to receive at least six mentions to be included on
the Black List.
All reasonable effort has been made to confirm the information
contained herein.
The Black List apologizes for all misspellings, misattributions, incorrect
representation identification, and questionable 2014 affiliations.
It has been said many times, but it’s worth repeating:
The Black List is not a “best of” list. It is, at best, a “most liked” list.
