You gotta love talking pets, and douche bag boy friends, though I’ve never had either one.

Jada? I’d rather see Rosario Dawson. She’d be perfect. Hopefully Hollywood doesn’t go with Megan Fox.

Funny how many of these scripts are already IN PRODUCTION… it’s more of a Hype List now… Either way… I’m too am psyched that someone is FINALLY telling the story of MEDUSA…. seems like a super famous character that only gets cameo’s in movies and video games. Bout time!

unfortunately i haven’t read the script but i hear good things from my friend. I know Jada Pinkett was going to play her til her hospital show got picked up. My friend works for Overbrook and they had optioned it but then the writers took it elsewhere. oh well… sorry Jada. lol is her show even on anymore?

Agree with Jon, “Allies with Benefits” was the one log line that made me go “damn, wish I’d thought of that!”

@ Phoe How can you tell that these are duds? All you are given is a one-sentence premise. At least wait until you read a couple of pages before you dis these off hand. As screenwriters, often we need to “sell” the screenplay through the log-line, so we come up with something a bit ridiculous.

I thought a few of these sound very interesting…Allies with Benefits sounds kinda funny in fact. Hope to see it in development soon.

I hope they make Medusa! The script is brilliant. Kudos to J Lee and Tom Welch.

Some interesting features in this list:
Several Civil War scenarios.
2 Texas Rangers as protagonist.
More westerns than in previous years…
A lot of rom-com and indie-coms…with varying degrees or promise
a decent amount of sci-fi( I think Renko Vega is the most promising of these).
Bio-pics with varying degrees of interest…
I’ll be curious to see what the next step in development will be.
And I’m trying to decipher if any of these points to the current zeitgeist. What
does it tell us about where “we” are culturally and historically?

Hey I noticed some graphic novel adaptations
in this list. And honestly, the graphic novels was
better. These scripts adaptations are like a dry fish.
I’m sorrry. I really did not want to say that.

Why can’t they add excitement to their style of writing.
So boring.
