101 Studios is developing drama Under the Influence, based on Peter Hernon and Terry Ganey’s bestseller Under The Influence: The Unauthorized Story of the Anheuser-Busch Dynasty, as a series. A writer is not yet attached.
Under the Influence was published by Simon & Schuster in 1991. The potential series, based on the book, will chart the dramatic rise and fall of the Busch family, German immigrants whose entrepreneurial spirit and business acumen brought them untold wealth thanks to one signature product: Budweiser.
Tracing five generations of personal triumphs and tragedies, power struggles, and unscrupulous dealings, the compelling corporate saga is also a turbulent tale of fathers and sons determined to maintain control over the world’s largest brewery, Anheuser-Busch – until a hostile takeover threatens to bring an end to their empire, according to the description.

While The Black List may be getting most of the press from entertainment news circles when it's announced in December, there's another compilation of the best new ideas and writing being offered to Hollywood movie studios and producers. It's called The Hit List (Thl), and it differs from The Black List in one fundamental way: whereas The Black List (Tbl) is a list of the top unproduced screenplays in Hollywood, several of the screenplays on that list have been purchased or are in development.
Take a look at last year's Black List (Part 1 is here, Part 2 is here) and here we are, one year later, and several of the scripts that made the 2009 list will be coming out in 2011 -- or have already been released (like The Social Network or Due Date). The Hit List is different in that it seeks to give attention to spec screenplays -- that is,...
