Genre: Period Drama
Premise: In the early 1900s, after their family is brutally murdered, two brothers choose different paths in life, one becoming an FBI agent, the other a criminal.
About: The 19th ranked script on last year’s Black List (right behind “Going The Distance” and above “Nowhere Boy”), The American Way was purchased by Anonymous Content and The Film Department. Described as a cross between Once Upon a Time in America and The Untouchables, the spec was Brian Kistler’s first sale right out of AFI Film school. It has since been retitled, “Murder Inc.” and will be directed by Ericson Core. Core was a D.P. on “Payback,” “The Fast and the Furious," and "Daredevil."
Writer: Brian Kistler
Details: First Draft, September 2008 (draft that landed him on the Black List)
As noted above, this is a review of a script from last year's Black List. Looking forward to the new list, due in a couple of weeks. Here's the link to the Black List site.
