Suzanne Allain has landed a two-step blind deal at Warner Bros. after submitting her script “Mr. Malcolm’s List” to the Black List.
Warners and Franklin Leonard‘s Black List recently partnered “in order to further encourage diversity among our screenwriting ranks.”
Based out of Tallahassee, Florida, Allain self-submitted the script to the popular screenwriting site and it garnered attention around town before eventually working its way up the ladder at WB.
“Mr. Malcolm’s List” is a period rom-com about two young women who discover a most eligible bachelor’s list of requirements for the “perfect wife,” and seek to beat him at his own game.
To be clear, Warners has not purchased the “Mr. Malcolm’s List” script, which remains available, but will simply assign Allain to another project and allow her to rewrite her first draft.
Allain is represented by Benderspink and Verve Talent and Literary Agency.
