We didn’t know it when docu-helmer Errol Morris (The Thin Blue Line, The Unknown Known) signed up for it last July, but by the looks of several industry players, he might have landed on the best screenplay of the bunch.
The annual “The Black List” unveiled its “favorite unproduced screenplays” of the year, and ranking at the top with a slim margin of a lead was Andrew Sodroski’s Holland, Michigan – a project that should begin lensing in April of next year with Naomi Watts possibly toplining. The second place top vote-getter got a lot more than a set of steak knifes this year. The out-of-nowhere, complete obscurity to huge pay day Section 6 by first time scribe Aaron Berg garnered huge interest towards the end of the year and should be jettisoned into production by the Universal folks – look for big name talent to be attached sometime in...

With all the mindless sequels and reboots that Hollywood has churned out over the last few years, it’s always nice when something original and well-written can break through and get a studio release. Unfortunately, many quality scripts can spend years without ever reaching the right executive to give it the green light. In an effort to make the process a little bit better, former production executive Franklin Leonard started The Black List in 2004. Today, the site announced its ninth annual list of the best unproduced scripts.
To come up with the list, nominations are received from over 250 executives. If a film gets 6 nominations, it gets a spot on the list. The more executives that nominate it, the higher on the list it is. Production for last year’s top film, Draft Day, is underway with the theatrical release scheduled for April, so there’s a pretty good chance that...

• Audience shaken as Cleo Laine tells how hours earlier husband Johnny insisted on 'celebration'
• Star performers were told before going on stage for 40th anniversary gig at couple's home
As finales go, it was unconventional to say the least. Dame Cleo Laine, wife of jazz legend Sir John Dankworth, had returned from King Edward VII hospital in London, where hours earlier her husband of 50 years had died.
Star names were waiting to entertain a 400-strong crowd at The Stables in Wavendon, Buckinghamshire, the venue set up by Sir John and Dame Cleo 40 years earlier. The stars – including Victoria Wood, Prunella Scales and Paul O'Grady – were told that Dankworth had died but advised that the show must go on, and that the audience must not know. Dame Cleo, 82, was among those performing. The show was memorable, the audience was enthralled.
Then came the twist. Dame Cleo stepped forward and in hushed...
