Franklin Leonard’s Black List — his annual informal catalog of the industry’s “most liked” scripts of the year — is due in the next week or so. In the meantime, here’s the Turkey List, “an index of the most questionable unproduced specs of 2009.”
Unproduced because they’re fake. But the list is good for a chuckle on two counts:
1) Some of the puns and loglines are genuinely funny.
2) I’m bound to be reporting in the not-too-distant future that one of the ludicrous loglines on this list has actually been thrown into development by a major studio.
My candidate:

What’s yours?
