So, the Oscars have been and gone and there were few surprises in the acting categories. Cillian Murphy won Best Actor for “Oppenheimer” while Best Actress went to Emma Stone (“Poor Things”). Best Supporting Actor was taken home by Robert Downey Jr. (“Oppenheimer”) and Da’Vine Joy Randolph claimed Best Supporting Actress for “The Holdovers.” But let’s not spend too much time looking back. Let’s look forward. With that in mind, what have these four acting winners got coming up next?
Murphy won his first Oscar for portraying J. Robert Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan‘s biopic. His next project is “Small Things Like These,” which just premiered to great acclaim at Berlinale. Directed by BAFTA nominee Tim Mielants, the film follows Murphy as a father in 1985 who uncovers the shocking secrets of the local convent.

Kristen Stewart’s recent movie choices continue to convey a sense that the actress is searching for projects as far removed from her most famous role as she can possible find. As well as the final part in the ‘Twilight Saga’ still to come, Stewart already has very different and diverse roles booked this year, first playing the more kick-ass than we’ve seen before version of Snow White in this summer’s ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ and then later as Marylou in Walter Salles’ adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s most celebrated work ‘On The Road’.
She has certainly done as much as she can to seemingly distance herself as much as she can from Bella Swann. That trend looks set to continue with news coming from Variety that Stewart has just signed on to headline the action flick ‘Cali’ for Voltage Productions and New School Media.

Unlike in theater or television, writers generally get the short end of the stick in the movie business. When a film doesn't work, the script is blamed, when it does work, the director gets credit. Writers get fired, rehired, fired again, rewritten and screwed out of credit. But that's not to say that once they get the momentum behind them, a screenwriter can't become just as talked about as actors, actresses and directors around Hollywood watering holes and meeting rooms.
As such, following our picks for the potential stars and starlets on the rise, we've chosen five screenwriters who look like they're going to be in demand over the next few years. We last ran one of these nearly two years ago, and all five of our picks have gone on to big things -- Emma Forrest has David Yates and Emma Watson adapting her memoir "Your Voice In My Head...

Coke and Wheels for post-Spider-Man’s Emma Stone
After Emma Stone is finished with hanging around a guy that regularly wears red-and-blue tights in The Amazing Spider-Man, she’s going to be taking a trip to Miami, Florida in a Little White Corvette to see about unloading a recently uncovered package of cocaine.
Stone, who rose into the cross-hairs of just about every studio in Hollywood with her performance in The Help, is back on the comedy track with a starring role in Gk Films’ Little White Corvette. According to Deadline, the film is about a nerdy brother and his wild older sister that discover a million-dollar stash of cocaine in the trunk of their father’s old car after he passes away. With dollar signs in their eyes, the siblings take off to Miami, Florida with dreams of making major cash by selling the recently discovered drugs. Stone is set to play the sister.

One of 2011′s Black List scripts is now getting a $1M deal and Emma Stone is attached to star and executive produce, win win I’d say. The Michael Diliberti (30:Minutes or Less) script Little White Corvette is about a nerdy guy and his wild older sister (Stone) who travel to Miami to try and sell a million-dollar stash of ’70s cocaine they found in the trunk of their late father’s car.
Emma stone made the scene in 2007′s Superbad and has been on a roll ever since. She was a strong lead in Zombieland and could be nominated for her work in last summer’s The Help. She’s also bound to break some hearts this summer in The Amazing Spider-Man. This is Diliberti’s second produced script, so I imagine having that kind of money and talent follow it, we could be looking at a hit – time will tell.

After star-making turns in 2009's Zombieland, 2010's Easy A and, most recently, in this summer's The Help, actress Emma Stone has the luxury of being able to choose her next project and, after appearing in the upcoming comic book adaptation of The Amazing Spider-Man and the crime drama Gangster Squad, it looks like she will be returning to comedy.
Deadline reports that Stone is attached to star in Little White Corvette, a comedy about a nerdy brother and his wild sister (Stone, we assume) who travel to Miami to sell off cocaine they found in the trunk of their late father's car (we'll assume it's a Corvette). Stone has been interested in the script since last summer, but now that it has sold to Gk Films, shooting will begin in late summer when Stone is available.

In the comedy film, the girlfriend of Andrew Garfield is going to play as an older sister of a nerdy guy. Together with her sibling, she travels to Miami in order to sell $1 million worth of '70s cocaine that they found in the trunk of their father's car after he passed away.
The film is produced by Graham King, Scott Aversano, and Tim Headington. Stone teams up with Diliberti as executive producers in the movie, marking her first foray into producing. While the shooting is scheduled to begin in late summer this year, other cast members who will join Stone haven't been announced.

Things are starting to look up for screenwriter Michael Dillberti. Not only did his screenplay 30 Minutes or Less get made into a pretty high profile comedy last year, but another one of his scripts, Little White Corvette, made it onto this year’s Black List. The list’s description of the movie reads as follows: “A down and out brother and sister go to Miami to sell a duffel bag of cocaine that they found in the trunk of a corvette left them by their dead father.” Sounds like it has some potential, especially when you factor in that the script already has Emma Stone attached to star. She’s had a year even better than Dillberti’s, starring in the wildly successful The Help and just finishing shooting on superhero tentpole picture The Amazing Spider-Man, and apparently she’s been interested in doing something with Little White Corvette for quite a while now.

Emma Stone had a solid career bump last year thanks to Crazy, Stupid, Love and The Help and this year she’ll crop up in both Gangster Squad and some small art project about a guy who has spider-related powers. Now it looks like she’s found a new comedy project to star in, with Gk Films taking over Little White Corvette.The script, written by Michael Diliberti, finds a down-on-their-luck brother-sister duo travelling to Miami in order to sell a bag full of cocaine that their dead dad left in the trunk of his car.While Diliberti originally intended to direct the film himself, it would appear that he’s no longer in the big chair, as the producers are now looking for someone else to take that task on. Still, he won’t be all that worried – he’s got plenty of writing assignments to keep him busy,...

In addition to a pivotal role in The Amazing Spider-Man this summer, Deadline reports Stone has just lined up another project for which Gk Films (founded by The Town producer Graham King) paid $1 million.

[1] Since breaking out in 2007's Superbad, Emma Stone has become one of the fastest-rising starlets in Hollywood. She held her own against acting heavyweights Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer in last summer's The Help, has a splashy superhero pic lined up in The Amazing Spider-Man, and will star as the female lead in her Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer's Gangster Squad. But she's been taking her time deciding on her next steps, with only next year's animated comedy The Croods scheduled beyond that. That is, until now. Stone has just committed to star in and executive produce Little White Corvette, an action comedy from 30 Minutes or Less writer Michael Diliberti. More details after the jump. Diliberti's 2011 Black List [2] script revolves around a dorky brother and his wild older sister, who discover a million dollars' worth of cocaine in the trunk of their late father's Corvette.

Emma Stone is set to star in a new film called Little White Corvette. Gk Films acquired the script from Michael Diliberti for a cool one million dollars.
Deadline described the story as "a two-hander about a nerdy guy and his wild older sister who travel to Miami to try and sell a million dollar stash of ’70s cocaine they found in the trunk of their late father’s car."
Sounds like it could end up being a fun film. The film is set to start shooting in late summer. Stone just completed shooting Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man, and there's a chance she'll end up getting a Oscar nomination for her role in The Help. I don't know about the rest of you, but I enjoy watching Stone in the films that she's in, she's a great actress and just so damn adorable.

The 2011 Black List, the Top Unproduced Screenplays of the year has been released. The best unproduced screenplays from The Black List 2011 is compiled by votes from over 300 “execs, agency guys, and high-level assistants. Titled The Black List, the compendium highlights both established screenwriters and up-and-comers, and has served as a launching pad in the past for projects like Juno, Lars and the Real Girl, and (500) Days of Summer. Last year’s list included Margin Call, Crazy, Stupid, Love, The Hunger Games, and Snow White and the Huntsman.”
Regarding the validity of The Black List, things to keep in mind:
some of these screenplays have already been acquired and are already in development, though…none will have entered principal photography by December 31, 2011. Also worth pointing out is that, as in previous years, there have been rumors that some of the participants have been accused of using the Black List to promote their own clients or friends.

Also worth pointing out is that, as in previous years, there have been rumors that some of the participants have been accused of using the Black List to promote their own clients or friends.

For the seventh annual year a list of the top unproduced screenplays written in the past 12 calendar months has been made. The Black List is the most recognized and celebritized compilation for screenwriters and unknown movie ideas to be heard. While some prior Black List scripts have gone on to be made (like Juno or 500 Days of Summer), most scripts do not. However, what being on The Black List can do is to give a big push of credibility to a screenwriter hoping to carve out a career in Hollywood.
The Black List recepients are chosen by a committee of 300 individuals working in Hollywood: agents, writers, producers, managers and the like. They read the screenplays that float around the showbiz ecosystem; some are bought and are already in development while others are still seeing the interest of talent of financial backers.

The 2011 Black List has arrived online and there are a bunch of the hottest scripts in Hollywood. Some have already been picked up by studios, while most are still unproduced. Here is the press release: The Black List was compiled from the suggestions of over 300 film executives, each of whom contributed the names of up to ten of their favorite scripts that were written in, or are somehow uniquely associated with, 2011 and will not have begun principal photography during this calendar year.
This year, scripts had to receive at least six mentions to be included on the The Black List.
All reasonable effort has been made to confirm the information contained herein. The Black List apologizes for all misspellings, misattributions, incorrect representation identification, and questionable 2011 affiliations.
It has been said many times, but it's worth repeating:
The Black List is not a "best of" list. It is, at best, a "most liked" list.

[1] Each December since 2004, studio executive Franklin Leonard has compiled the best unproduced screenplays of the year, as voted by hundreds of execs, agency guys, and high-level assistants. Titled The Black List, the compendium highlights both established screenwriters and up-and-comers, and has served as a launching pad in the past for projects like Juno, Lars and the Real Girl, and (500) Days of Summer. Last year's list included Margin Call, Crazy, Stupid, Love, The Hunger Games, and Snow White and the Huntsman. It should be noted that the headline is somewhat misleading -- some of these screenplays have already been acquired and are already in development, though according to Leonard none will have entered principal photography by December 31, 2011. Also worth pointing out is that, as in previous years, there have been rumors that some of the participants have been accused of using the Black List to promote their own clients or friends.

This year at the Austin Film Festival, studio executive and “Black List” founder Franklin Leonard introduced the opening film, Butter. It’s a fantastic satirical comedy written by Jason Micallef and Leonard’s post-screening Q&A with him was equally hilarious and unconventional.
Sitting in the upper deck at the Paramount Theatre, I was in awe at how Leonard had not only created the list just six years prior but how it provided such legitimacy to emerging screenwriters, like Micallef. He was relatively unknown in ‘08, but his script placed third on the list. Now he has a movie coming out starring Jennifer Garner, his new scripts have Jack Black and Jason Segel attached (separately), and he wrote a movie titled Good Vibrations about, um, marital aids starring Charlize Theron. That’s the power of the Black List.
