Among this year’s 13 selected (from 1073 - that's about one film for every 100 submitted) international narrative feature submissions, we find one title that is high up on our must see list in Paddy Considine's directing debut entitled Tyrannosaur. Last year we had Animal Kingdom ranked in the same spot. Here are the other 12 from pretty much all over the world.

Among some of the noteworthy items on the 2006 Black List that received the least number of votes (or wasn't read by enough prod co. insiders) we find Martin McDonagh's In Bruges which received 7 votes and picking up a pair of votes we have: Lewis Colick's The Fighter which I imagine is the same project as the one that is receiving it's Oscar bid release next week --- it has gone through many rewrites and writers. We also have the first screenplay version for Life of Pi which was penned by Jean-Pierre Jeunet & Guillame Laurent, Peter Morgan's Frost/Nixon which I imagine not many folks had the chance to read and Ron Harwood's Diving Bell & The Butterfly.

First time feature filmmakers Steve McQueen’s Hunger and Martin McDonagh’s In Bruges are the toast of the 11th British Independent Film nominations this year -- each share a total of seven nominations a piece, while Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire has a total of six noms in five categories and should be a serious contender in at least the screenwriting category.

Where's Bruge? What is Bruges? Think a smaller Amsterdam without the illegal stuff replaced by fries, beer and postcard setting. Just a couple of days ago, the Sundance Film Fest announced the opening film for their 2008 edition - the to-be-released on February 8th hit man comedy by Focus Features is the feature film debut from Martin McDonagh (the winner for Oscar for best short film Six Shooter). While many of you are enjoying your turkey or faux-turkey, I'm thinking that In Bruges might be anything but that. We've got the exclusive first look at the official trailer, plus a pair of pics for you below.
