There is either a couple of football fans or Jerry Maguire/Moneyball with this year’s most liked unproduced screenplay. Close to 300 hundred film executives provided with the Black List creators a top ten of their favorite screenplays of the year and the consensus first overall pick (with 65 votes) comes from the recently featured in Variety (10 Screenwriters to Watch 2012) tandem of Rajiv Joseph & Scott Rothman and their drama which has nothing to do with enlisting in the armed forces. Draft Day – about the day in the life of a fictitious Buffalo Bills Gm appears to currently be in turnaround — which only means I expect to see this greenlight perhaps a little later than sooner – worth noting: top spot almost guarantees that the film will indeed go into production (2006, 2010 and 2011 are the exceptions.) Among the more alluring logline subjects we find on the list, I’d be keen on reading the...

Exclusive: TV writer/playwright Cassie Pappas (MTV’s Awkward) and Vijal Patel (ABC’s The Middle) have sold single-camera comedy projects to ABC that draw on their real-life family experiences. Both shows are produced by ABC Studios. Pappas’ 20′s Vs 30′s centers on two sisters a decade apart in age who move in together. Inspired by Pappas’ relationship with her sister, the project revolves around the sisters, their group of friends and the decade between them. 20s Vs. 30s, which stems from a blind script deal Pappas had at ABC Studios, is co-produced by 3 Arts, with Pappas, Tom Lassally and Jonathan Berry executive producing. Papas, repped by Apa and 3 Arts, is developing cable project The Spread with Nick Wechsler. Patel’s semi-autobiographical Square Roots centers on a young married couple perpetually tormented by the husband’s opinionated family of engineers who think they have a “solution” for every problem in life.
