The Black List, an annual ranking of the most popular unproduced screenplays in Hollywood, has released its 2022 rankings — a list crawling with juicy biopics about superstar singers and sports world redemption tales.
Founded by Franklin Leonard, the list surveys 300 studio executives who weigh in with the strongest screenplays to have crossed their desks over the year. An individual script must be mentioned at least six times to warrant inclusion. The year’s most popular is “Pure,” a psychological thriller that would set Gwyneth Paltrow on edge.
“Obsessed with food purity, Hannah’s trip to her sister’s destination wedding descends into madness when she contracts a mysterious foodborne illness that threatens to destroy her from within,” reads the official longline.
Other notable projects include: “Dumb Blonde,” an origin story of Dolly Parton’s rise in the male-dominated country music landscape of the ’60s, by Todd Bartels and Lou Howe; “Resurfaced,...

Starring Clifton Collins Jr., Jessica Cook and Tony de Maeyer, the film is set at a fancy garden party where the upper class guests become prey to a colony of killer wasps that have mutated into seven foot tall predators. Hoping to save the day are two employees of the party's catering staff -- Paul and Julia -- who fight to save their lives while stumbling into a genre-friendly romance. Mixing comedy with a hybrid of monster movie and gross-out horror, "Stung" is a wicked little indie you shouldn't stream alone.

When "Gabriel," the debut feature from writer/director Lou Howe, begins, it seems like any other romantic drama about two young people who are in love. Our title character (Rory Culkin) takes a bus out to his girlfriend's dorm. He bangs on her door, a wadded up piece of a letter balled in his fist. When a different girl answers, she informs him that the girl he is looking for doesn't live there, especially when he tells her that the address on the envelope is several years old. "This is a freshman dorm," the girl says. And that's when it becomes very clear that this movie is not your typical romantic drama; it's far more unhinged than that. The rest of "Gabriel" unfolds with an admirable single-mindedness and focus: Gabriel is a kid who is just being released from an institution and is coming home to spend time with his...

Becoming an adult is as tough a prospect as they come. Already on the edges of both adolescence and adulthood, being a teen is both a deeply exciting portion of one’s life, as well as a profoundly troubling one. Friends are coming and going, more freedom and thus more responsibility and a future in the “real world” that’s coming on like a speeding train, a lot is thrust on the shoulders of young adults, and sometimes these shoulders buckle under the weight.
Take the lead character in Lou Howe’s debut feature, Gabriel, for example.
Gabriel tells the story of a young man, our titular hero if you will, who is at a tipping point of sorts. Following his father’s suicide, things in his life are tied into knots, leading him to take drastic measures. Steadfast in his belief that his ex-girlfriend is anxiously awaiting his return...

Rory Culkin has quietly but steadily been carving out an interesting movie career. With movies like "You Can Count On Me," "Mean Creek," "Down In The Valley" and "Signs" on his CV, Culkin's choices tend to lean toward thoughtful character portraits, and that's no different with the upcoming indie "Gabriel."

Macaulay’s younger brother gives a terrific performance as a 25-year-old struggling with mental health issues in this low-budget gem
Gabe (only his mother and girlfriend can call him Gabriel) is thrilled to pull up a stool at Joe Jr’s diner, a somewhat notable pre-gentrified Manhattan greasy spoon. No one makes the hash quite like they do and after slapping some Heinz 57 sauce all over it, he’s wolfing that sodium-rich slop with glee. But the ceiling fan is really loud and even though this tastes so good the wobbly wood and whooshing air is like a hammer to his head until – Slam! Gabe throws his silverware down and storms out of the restaurant without paying. There have been countless scenes in which we’re witness to a bipolar freak-out, but I don’t think we’ve seen one as particular, expressive and realistic as this.

Rory Culkin is not some fresh face who has yet to leave a mark. The young actor has been delivering excellent performances in good movies for years (recommendations include: Igby Goes Down, Down in the Valley, Lymelife) but he has yet to catch the eye of mainstream audiences and though Gabriel is not exactly the next summer tentpole, the movie is riding a wave of praise from Sundance and Tribeca which should get him on a few more radars.
Writer/director Lou Howe's feature film debut looks like an intense thriller. Culkin stars as the titular character, a mentally unstable young man who is determined to track down his first love, played here by Emily Meade, at any cost. And it looks like he pays dearly.
Gabriel opens June 19.

The most emotionally gripping and captivating coming-of-age stories chronicle the relatable struggles young adults are forced to contend with and overcome as they try to make the jarring transition into adulthood. Seeing older relatives and friends easily make that shift into being a responsible adult often leads people to imagine their own future selves achieving their goals and dreams. But when a person is also striving to cope with a mental illness, their idea of growing up can become fundamentally unrealistic. That skewed perception of the world, and what it truly means to mature, fuels the passionately tense independent thriller, ‘Gabriel.’ Rory Culkin gave a powerful performance as the title [ Read More ]

From the opening scenes of “Gabriel" (read our review), the debut feature from writer/director Lou Howe, the audience is immediately tossed into the ongoing tumult that is the life of the title character, a troubled young man brilliantly played by Rory Culkin. We’re not given any clues to the drama, other than a years-old love letter from a girl named Alice, to whom Gabriel plans to propose. While this seems odd (if he’s planning to propose, why doesn’t he know where Alice lives?), it’s also instantly compelling. We want to find out who Gabriel is, where he’s coming from, and why he won’t answer his phone. As the story unfolds, we meet his mother (a wearily overprotective Deirdre O’Connell) and brother (an upright David Call), both of whom have clearly been through the emotional wringer due to Gabriel’s frequent mental health ups-and-downs.

Ever since memorably appearing as Mel Gibson's son in M. Night Shyamalan's 2002 hit "Signs," Rory Culkin has shied away from big projects, favoring indies with roles he can sink his teeth into. He had a great run as a teen actor, impressing in "Mean Creek," "Down in the Valley" and "Lymelife." Now 24, Culkin shows he has what it takes to lead a film in Lou Howe's assured feature film debut "Gabriel" (currently screening at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival). In "Gabriel," Culkin stars as the titular character, a young man struggling with mental issues in the wake of his father's suicide. It's a performance that Indiewire's Eric Kohn praised as Culkin's "best." "Appearing in every scene," Kohn wrote, "the actor imbues Gabriel with a wily attitude; while recovering from a meltdown that precedes the start of the story, he's always on the brink of another one."

Lou Howe's directorial debut follows Gabriel (Rory Culkin), a scared 20-something suffering from a non-specific mental illness slinging fault in every direction, including his own, after his father commits suicide prior to the film's start. To anyone who has experienced even the slightest bout of depression, this sometimes quiet, sometimes frantic observational story will surely hit home. And although the motivation for writing the film didn't come from Howe's home, it came from nearby."I'd had a friend who was diagnosed with a mental illness in his late teens," explains Howe as we sit with lunch-gone-cold in front of us at The Carlton in Manhattan during the first days of the Tribeca Film Festival. "That's when the seed [for the story] was planted. I started thinking...

When we first see Rory Culkin in the opening minutes of "Gabriel," the feature-length debut of Lou Howe, there's an alarming uneasiness to his presence. The actor's jittery brown-green eyes suggest a paradoxical state at once fully alert and lost in another world. Culkin remains that way for the duration of the movie, which finds the title character struggling with mental health issues in the wake of his father's suicide and pining for the affections of a long-lost childhood love. He's angry with the reality of his conditions while seemingly in denial of the fantasy he uses to escape from them. No matter the melodramatic trappings of the material, Culkin's fierce performance elevates the experience. Every since 2004's "Mean Creek," Culkin has shown a penchant for dark, brooding roles, and "Gabriel" provides him with plenty of room to flesh out that potential. Appearing in every scene, the actor imbues Gabriel...

The stereotype of mental illness on film is not too dissimilar from the stereotype of mental retardation put forward by the film Tropic Thunder: Successful characters have to be “disturbed,” but they can’t be completely out of control, or else audiences won’t relate to them. Thus, Lou Howe’s debut feature Gabriel, opening this week at the Tribeca Film Festival, draws notice simply because it challenges the rule. The titular character is ill to a degree that the audience cannot completely understand, and he gives an otherwise standard film the depth and edge that it needs.
This will not be clear at the start of the picture. We first meet Gabriel (Rory Culkin) on a lonely search for his long-lost girlfriend, wherein he inadvertently teaches a small child to smoke cigarettes and steals a pair of the girlfriend’s...

Tribeca will host the world premiere of Gabriel, starring Rory Culkin, Thursday, April 17.
Gabriel is the feature film debut of writer and director Lou Howe, who has previously directed two short films, and was accepted into the Tribeca Film Festival as part of the Narrative Competition.
The film is about Gabriel (Culkin), a man who embarks on a desperate search to find his first love, hoping it will bring stability to his life and ground him. As his search becomes complicated, Gabriel loses touch with reality and becomes increasingly impulsive and dangerous.
Culkin, the youngest of the Culkin family of actors – Rory’s older brothers Macaulay Culkin and Kieran Culkin are both successful actors – stars in the intense drama, alongside Emily Meade, David Call, Deirdre O’Connell and Louisa Krause. In the first clip released from the film, Gabriel is having dinner with his family when he grabs a knife and becomes angry.

The Tribeca Film Festival began as a way for New York to rebuild culturally after the World Trade Center attacks in 2001. For the first time since then, the area around Ground Zero is dominated by a sparkly, newly finished Freedom Tower, which represents so much more than the city’s resilience and recovery. The Tribeca festival played a small, but not insignificant, role in that recovery, inviting artists and film lovers to the city and reassuring New Yorkers that life can be beautiful even in the darkest of days.

Native New Yorker Lou Howe brings "Gabriel" to Tribeca, a dramatic feature debut that has been in the works for years. He got his start in fiction writing and has been writing and directing TV movies and shorts. He also served as the first assistant editor for 2008's documentary "The Windmill Movie." Tell us about yourself: I was born and raised in New York City, and grew up writing, mostly short stories and one-act plays. I discovered filmmaking as a freshman in college and ended up majoring in it. After school, I moved back to New York and worked all over the independent film world, from Pa’ing on music videos to editing documentaries to assisting a producer. I moved out to Los Angeles to go to film school about five years ago to focus on writing and directing my own work. I still live here with my wife and daughter.

Artistic Director Frederic Boyer has managed to nab some noteworthy American indie projects such as Lou Howe’s Gabriel (see pic above), Keith Miller’s Five Star, Adam Rapp’s Loitering with Intent, and Tristan Patterson’s Electric Slide.
On the docu front, we’ve got the latest from the likes of notable documentarians Marshall Curry and Jessica Yu. Think Ewan McGregor’s Long Way Round meets child solider movie for Curry’s awesomely titled Point and Shoot — where the Libyan rebel army take hold of Curry’s subject.

The 13th Tribeca Film Festival has announced half its slate for next month’s New York celebration, which runs April 16-27. Culled from more than 6,000 submissions, Tribeca 2014 includes 55 world premieres, 37 first-time filmmakers, and 22 female directors. “Variously inspired by individual interests and experience and driven by an intense sensibility of style, the array of new filmmaking voices in this year’s competition is especially impressive and I think memorable,” said Frederic Boyer, Tribeca’s artistic director. “The range of American subcultures and international genres represented here are both eclectic and wide reaching.”

Child 44
Director: Daniel Espinosa
Writers: Richard Price
Producer: Summit Entertainment, Worldview Entertainment, Etalon Film, Scott Free Productions, Stillking Films
U.S. Distributor: Summit Ent/Lionsgate
Cast: Tom Hardy, Noomi Rapace, Gary Oldman, Joel Kinnaman, Vincent Cassel, Jason Clarke, Paddy Considine
Based on the first novel from a popular trilogy, this sounds like a melding of John Le Carre and Stieg Larsson (of course, mainplayers Rapace and Oldman might be responsible for that ambiance as well). Helmed by Swedish director Daniel Espinosa, who received wide acclaim with his 2010 film, Easy Money, we’re hoping this gets more traction than his 2012 English language debut, Safe House. A killer (and very masculine) cast should make this one to watch for, though screenwriter Richard Price can be a bit iffy. He’s been working television since his last feature screenplay, which was 2006’s Freedomland…but we’re hoping this is the same caliber...

Gabriel
Director: Lou Howe
Writer(s): Lou Howe
Producer(s): Luca Borghese, Ben Howe
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available
Cast: Rory Culkin, Emily Meade, Lynn Cohen, David Call, Alexia Rasmussen, Louisa Krause
A directorial debut that has been kicking around numerous indie financial support groups (Cinereach, Ifp, Annenberg Feature Film Grant by the Sundance Institute) for some time, the Filmmaker Magazine’s 25 New Faces of Independent Film of 2013 named Lou Howe’s Gabriel is indie drama the way we like it: dark and disturbing.
Gist: A young man searches obsessively for a girl from his past, convinced that she is the solution to his problems. Over the course of his journey, his perception of the world begins to slip away from reality. His family tries to prevent him from endangering himself, but he struggles to continue, growing desperate and erratic as he closes in.
Release Date: This could land at Tribeca,...

Jane Got a Gun
Director: Gavin O’Connor
Writers: Brian Duffield, Anthony Tambakis
Producer: Chris Coen, Terry Dougas, Aleen Keshishian, Scott Lastaiti, Mary Regency Boies, Natalie Portman, Zack Schiller, Scott Steindorff
U.S. Distributor: Relativity Media and The Weinstein Company
Cast: Natalie Portman, Ewan McGregor, Rodrigo Santoro, Joel Edgerton, Noah Emmerich, Boyd Holbrook
Jane Got a Gun may have lost some feathers (players) along the way and would have broke into our top 25 if a certain female filmmaker had remained on board, but we’re down all the same for this gunslinger revenge flick. Gavin O’Connor’s sixth feature film (Tumbleweeds remains his best work to date) is the ultimate test for the filmmaker who has had in his hands in several genres.
Gist: A woman asks her ex-lover for help in order to save her outlaw husband from a gang out to kill him.

The elusive “Golden Ticket”. Beginning next Wednesday (December 4th) in a wave of four announcements, is when the official word comes out. Plenty of filmmakers are already in the know, but some will find out over the course of this Thanksgiving weekend. Having covered the festival and fest circuit for some time now, we’re already aware that worthy films that were indeed submitted will be excluded from the ’14 edition. Thousands of filmmakers won’t get the phone call, and while it can bruise dreams, this is not a rejection of quality…but rather, a preference from a programmer/programming team which reflects a larger mandate. John Cooper, Trevor Groth et al. have a difficult job and the way I see it, it’s the equivalent to draft day for a major professional sport – where a team in a given turn doesn’t go for the consensus pick, but instead...

Looks like it isn’t only in professional hockey where the “Howe” family name will make huge strides. Featuring Rory Culkin and an indie ensemble cast I’ve loved in their respective breakout films in Emily Meade, Lynn Cohen, David Call, Alexia Rasmussen and Louisa Krause, Lou Howe’s debut film should rise like a soufflé to the top of the 2014 edition and this could be a seminal project in producer/brother Ben Howe’s earlier producing career. Featured in Filmmaker Magazine’s 25 New Faces of Independent Film of 2013, Lou has found support early on with Cinereach, Ifp and received the Annenberg Feature Film Grant by the Sundance Institute. Casting was put into place in 2012 and production took place earlier in the year. Despite the darker slant of the material, this is ready to shine. See the exclusive image below!

"Project X" star Jonathan Daniel Brown, Kellan Lutz and Nina Dobrev are set to star in John Stockwell's "Kid Cannabis," a rags-to-riches drug tale based on a 2005 Rolling Stone article that follows an impoverished, depressed high school dropout who quickly finds himself managing a multi-million dollar marijuana smuggling operation across the Idaho-Canada border.
Brown will play the 18-year-old lead, Nate Norman, who soon finds the feds on his tail, with Lutz as his mate who chases the thrill while Dobrev will play the daughter of a pot-grower who has a thing for the best friend. For more details, you check out the fasinating source article titled "Kid Cannabis: How a Chubby Pizza-Delivery Boy from Idaho Became a Drug Kingpin" but we'll leave you with with the following insight from Norman that concludes the piece, "I partied my ass off. There were so many women. I smoked so much weed.

• Arnold Schwarzenegger continues his streak of gritty action films, signing on to star in the thriller Ten, Open Road Films announced today. David Ayer (Street Kings, End of Watch) will direct the script by Skip Woods (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, A Good Day to Die Hard), which follows a team of crooked DEA agents who start getting mysteriously executed after a dirty drug raid. Schwarzenegger’s role in the film is unclear, but we’re guessing it’s light on introspective soliloquies.
