[b]Leonardo DiCaprio Project Tops Annual Black List[/b]
Every year, Hollywood insiders vote on the best unproduced screenplays floating around Tinsel Town. This year a proposed Leonardo DiCaprio project [url="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/movies/2011/12/black-list-2011-the-top-ten.html"]took the top slot in a landslide victory[/url]. “The Imitation Game” is the story of Alan Turring, one of the mathematicians responsible for breaking Nazi code in World War II, but who was later persecuted for being a homosexual. When Warner Bros. bought the script back in October, DiCaprio was rumored as the front-runner for the role of Turring. Other scripts mentioned on the list include “Chewie,” a retelling of the making of “Star Wars” from the perspective of Peter Mayhew and Quentin Tarantino’s “Django Unchained.”
