The Black List 2024: ‘One Night Only’ Tops Chart And Its Writer Makes A Bit Of History


The 20th edition of the Black List 2024 selected Travis Braun's 'One Night Only' as the best liked unproduced screenplay. It's the second year in a row that Braun has led the list.

This year’s Black List screenplays had themes and conceits which canvassed retreat-like settings and social gatherings turned hostile, relationship dynamics tested by external forces, creatures not of thisworld, panic-stricken physical and economic survival situations, and dangerous climbs to power. During the glittering ascent of Abercrombie & Fitch, a bold CEO and his enigmatic British partner craft an empire of desire, exclusivity, and allure – only to see their legacy unravel as a scandal of exploitation and power threatens to expose the dangerous lengths they went to in their pursuit of perfection. In the last days of the Britpop era, enigmatic musician Richard Ashcroft’s quest to transform an obscure Rolling Stones cover into the iconic single “Bitter Sweet Symphony” sparks a legal battle that threatens to both destroy his band The Verve and silence the song forever.
