After dipping into romantic drama terrain with his debut film XX/XY and examining the dot-com bubble bursting a decade later in August, Austin Chick's Thelma and Louise take Manhattan like thriller has found a distributor with a fanbase to match. Anchor Bay Films have put the cuffs on the helmer's third directorial outing.
What I like most about the annual Black List is that there isn't any favoritism according to the projected financial size of a screenplay. For fun, you could scan down any list since its inception and you'll find equal parts indie/Sundace/small budget and studio/multiplex/limitless budgets. If you look at the price tag for 2007's top screenplay (Recount) and say picks #14 and #15 which have a budget that range somewhere between 50 to 100 times more.
