Paramount Unproduced Properties 1983-1997, working through a gigantic file of scripts and ideas Paramount Studios didn’t make in that time, title by title. A view into otherspace showing some potentially great movies we lost, as well as some less so. The Terence Malick project I just went by would probably have been worth checking out, for example. The David Mamet remake of Ace In The Hole too...
There was a Continental Op screenplay in the late 80s. And Congo made it to script in 1980!
Tracing them by date would probably reveal a lot as well, as I spot attempt to cash in on trends year on year. I suspect that the adaptation of The Black Arrow written the same year as Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves came out might not be a coincidence.
There are quite a few former X teaches kids to do X and win championship screenplays, from band to cheerleading to... parachute jumping.
Most of them I can kind of see. But an explanation for Bardo would be nice.
Thanks to RPGnet user Lenin for the link.
