i agree with recount. i think that will the most talked about script for next year.

although i think you should added some of these scripts to the article that could be next year's awards hopefuls or box office hits:

DOUBT by John Patrick Shanley
%u201CA nun confronts a priest after suspecting him of abusing a black
student.%u201D

this one based on a play. i had an acting class that had this play. my hope is to see if i get the chance to direct it. i loved the drama that came out it.

ARCADIA DISINHERITED by Adam Hutchinson
%u201CThree brothers, displaced to a refugee camp after Hurricane Katrina,
fight for each other's survival after one of them accidentally commits
a crime.%u201D

something i believe will find a following. this spells nomations.

BFF by Chad & Dara Creasey
%u201CA nerdy guy and a popular girl meet as high school freshmen. Over
four years of high school, four proms and one funeral, they become
friends and eventually fall in love.%u201D

i loved this high concept screenplay. something i can relate to. i believe this could be a something like superbad but without the fowl language.

ADVENTURELAND by Greg Mottola
%u201CWhen an uptight recent college graduate realizes he cannot afford his
European dream vacation, he is forced to take a minimum-wage job at a
local amusement park.%u201D

Greg Mottola is having a ball. superbad became the sleeper hit of the summer. i am looking forward to seeing this on the big screen.

WORLD WAR Z by J Michael Straczynski
%u201CA sober telling of the aftermath of a war fought against a legion of
humans who were inflicted with a virus, died and were re-animated into
flesh-eating zombies.%u201D (5 MENTIONS)

i believe this is from a very popular book. my friends loved the book. seeing the big screen is so worth their money.

ZOMBIELAND by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick
%u201CAfter a zombie plague ravages America, a pair of %u2018odd couple%u2019
survivors team up to find purpose and combat the living dead in the
post-apocalyptic Southwest.%u201D

well well. something that could top the dawn of the dead remake.

I WANT TO F--- YOUR SISTER by Melissa Stack
%u201CA young man goes to great lengths to protect his younger sister from
guys just like him.%u201D

this could end up the next superbad.

COXBLOCKER by Tim Dowling
%u201CA guy meets the girl of his dreams, but her ex-boyfriend, who's now her
best friend, keeps blocking his advances.%u201D

this spells cult film. it wont make much money but find life on dvd. this is very relateable screenplay.

and lastly...

JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA by The Mulroneys
%u201CThe exploits of the Justice League of America, an organization made up
of the world's greatest superheroes: Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman,
Aquaman, Flash and Green Lantern.%u201D

it pains me so how crappy the turn out rate on this movie. the casting,the director, and the sceenplay. i would love to see this movie scrapped. young people playing adult superheros? not gonna fly with me.

thats it.
