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.

Sundance 2011 World Cinema Documentary Competition: James Marsh and Asif Kapadia Among 12 Selected
The section I normally avoid not because I don't want to see all 12 selected films, but because there are only so many hours in a day will house a pair of docus films that I'm looking forward in seeing. One is directed by Oscar-winning director James Marsh (Man on Wire) and pertains to a subject thatis close to my heart - Project Nim might make just make a powerful statement about the grave mistake we humans make in not identifying ourselves with the non-human species. In Senna, the other docu of interest is from an already establish filmmaker in Asif Kapadia who takes us for a spin with car racing legend Ayrton Senna.
Sundance 2011 U.S. Documentary Competition: Marshall Curry and Morgan Neville Among the 16 Selected
