2014 Black List

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 photography during 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.
“I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,
Livin’ in the hopeless, hungry side of town,
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime,
But is there because he’s a victim of the times.”
