I THINK AMERICA FORGAVE TONYA HARDING WHEN THEY ALL TUNED INTO

THE 1994 OLYMPICS. THEY WERE REALLY SAYING THANK YOU, CRAZYPANTS, FOR A ONE OF A KIND STORY WE WERENT GONNA SEE WITHOUT
SOMEONE LIKE YOU SHE CAN TALK. SHE CAN WALK. SHE CAN READ
AND WRITE FOR THE MOST PART. SHE CAN PASS FOR NORMAL ENOUGH.
BUT I CANNOT KEEP WORRYING ABOUT HER AS A TICKING TIME BOMB
FOR THIS FAMILYS FUTURE. WE HAVE NINE CHILDREN. EIGHT OF WHOM
I WILL CONTINUE TO SHEPHERD IN CARRYING FORTH MY NAME INTO
HISTORY - BUT NOT ROSEMARY NINE-ELEVEN IS WHAT DID IT, I
GUESS. WAS THE FIRST TIME I SAW THERE WERE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT
JUST ... HATED US. SO I WANTED TO DO MY PART, PROTECT THE COUNTRY
FROM THOSE WHO WOULD SEE US BROUGHT LOW WILL DEMPSEY
WAS THIRTY-ONE YEARS OLD WHEN HE FINALLY GAVE UP ON HIS SAM
JACKSON UNRELIABLE NARRATOR SCREENPLAY. HED BEEN
WORKING ON IT SINCE 7:30 AM. WILL LOOKS UP AT THE CLOCK. ITS 7:47 AM.

THE

HIT LIST 2016


THE BEST SPEC SCRIPTS OF THE YEAR

THEY LIED. ALL OF THEM. THEY LIED AND TOLD US THAT WHAT WE WERE
DOING WAS GOOD. THAT WE WERE HELPING PEOPLE WHO COULDNT
HELP THEMSELVES. BUT THAT WASNT IT AT ALL. NO ONE WANTED
US THERE. SO, THEY, WE, JUST SENT A BUNCH OF YOUNG MEN TO DIE.
AND IT SHOULDNT JUST BE US TO KNOW THE TRUTH YOU FEEL THAT?
IM NORTH. YOURE SOUTH. TWO MAGNETS SLOWLY INCHING CLOSER
UNTIL ALL AT ONCE... SHE PLACES HER HAND ON HIS HEART. AND HIS
HAND ON HERS. AND ONCE THEYVE TOUCHED, THEYRE IMPOSSIBLE TO
PULL APART MICHAEL JACKSON, PRINCE, THEY MAKE ALBUMS AND ARE
DECLARED GENIUSES. I COME OUT AND PEOPLE ASSUME IM A FUCKING
PUPPET CONTROLLED BY A BETTER, MORE TALENTED MAN. WELL, IM
NOT GOING TO BE ANYONES MOUTHPIECE. IM CALLING THE
SHOTS. AND I CANT WAIT FOR YOU TO FIGURE THAT OUT ANYMORE WHAT
PURPOSE IS THERE TO MOURN A LOVE THAT WAS NOT MERELY MISSED,
BUT, AS NOW I KNOW, NEVER EXISTED AT ALL? WHAT NECESSITY, FOR A
SPECIES THAT HAS WALKED ON PLANETS AND TRAVELED THROUGH TIME,
DO THE HAUNTING NOTES OF HEARTBREAK SERVE? WERE NOT
GOING TO GET AWAY. HE TURNS BACK TO THE HOUSE. FOCUS. THE BRITISH
WILL BE HERE SOON, YOUVE SAID SO YOURSELF, TWICE NOW. ITS MORE
THAN A DAYS MARCH BACK, AND YOU CANT SPARE ANY MEN TO TAKE ME,
AND I WONT GO ON MY OWN - WILLIAM PAUSES. GLARING BACK AT HER.
BECAUSE HE KNOWS SHES RIGHT SO THATS WHAT YOU CAME
FOR, THEN, IS IT? TO MAKE A FOOL OF ME? - NO. I CAME TO FIGHT.. LADIES
AND GENTLEMEN. SINNERS AN SAINTS. OUR WAR HAS JUST BEGUN.

THE

HIT LIST

2016

LUCKY NUMBER SEVEN IS HERE!


Seven years. In the past seven years we have seen 617 specs and 738 writers grace our list, weve
counted more than 19,000 votes from more than 3,400 voters, weve seen more than 80 of those on
the list released with Oscar and Box Office wins alike, weve seen more than 1,600 individual specs
voted for out of the 2,700 eligible, with 95 instances of writers appearing on the list more than once,
and more than 200 Young & Hungry alums and 25 Launch Pad alums making appearances along the
way.
In seven years weve seen agencies & management companies come and go, with reps new and old
rising back to the top. Weve seen genres shift alongside the worldview, and weve seen new studios
and buyers rising from the ashes, or making monster splashes with their introductions. In the past
seven years of tracking this industrys tastes, projects, development, and market, weve seen fear
give way to excitement, pessimism give way to enthusiasm, and going into 2017, weve seen a level
of creative passion boiling up like weve never seen before.
And its in that passion that we see the diversity in this years list. From the staples of comedies and
dramas, to the highest numbers of science fiction, period pieces, biopics, and romance specs weve
ever had. Weve seen the desire to escape meshing with the eagerness to reflect, the opportunity to
cry meshing with laughs, and the opportunity to think, to explore, and to feel at an all time high.
The 2016 Hit List brings 92 projects to the forefront, reflecting not only Hollywoods tastes, but the
tastes of an audience that this year, more than ever, demanded more, and asked for something
original, something creative, and something that would allow them an opportunity to think. Whether
it be over the top comedy, an intimate drama of perseverance, a survivalist sci-fi, an existential look
in, an investigative discovery, a love story of epic proportions, a push for change on the largest stage
imaginable, a truly timeless romance, or a glimpse at those who believed in something so strongly
they could not be denied.
This years list has once again been voted on by a privately selected panel of executives, producers,
agents, managers, directors and writers who have been deemed tastemakers by their peers. Voted
on from a ballot of more than 370 eligible spec scripts, and compiled from more than 2,500 votes,
this years list is a true reflection of the best spec scripts of 2016.
Once again, we hope you enjoy our list.

2016 HIT LIST AT A GLANCE


SCRIPTS ON THE LIST
The Hit List is comprised exclusively of spec scripts. By focusing on specs alone, we aim to bring recognition
to the passion and creativity writers display when they venture into a world that begins solely with them.
Whether an original idea, or the tackling or a true story, these spec scripts serve as introductions to, or a
reminder of those writers Hollywood fell in love with on the page in 2016.
ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible for the list, a spec script must have been released into the spec market between December
1st, 2015 and November 30th, 2016. To be considered a spec, a screenwriter must not have been paid for
their work prior to exposing their script to the market. All spec information is pre-verified by representation
prior to making the ballot.
ALPHABETICAL PEOPLE/COMPANIES
Similar to previous years, all people and companies listed in any individual project listing have been listed
alphabetically by letter of their first name. All companies, agencies, management companies, and individual agents and managers are listed individually by number of times represented at the end of this years list.
IN DEPTH VERIFICATION
All efforts have been made to verify any and all of the information that follows, with no project included on
this list without more than two people involved having verified details.
THE HIT LIST PDF IS INTERACTIVE
All titles link to the individual spec tracking for each project, so you can instantly navigate to the original
listings for a more in-depth look on those involved, up to the minute tracking on territories, attachments,
buzz and reads as projects hit the market.
