The 2011 Wish List

As featured on… 

The Wish List is a compilation of the best unproduced, unwritten screenplays in Hollywood.  The second annual list is determined based on a comprehensive voting process involving a tribunal of studio development executives, the BCS computer ranking algorithm, the United States Electoral College, and Sharon Osbourne.

Please remember, The Wish List is not a “best of” list. It is, at best, a “waste of the next few minutes of your life.”

Enjoy.
