The Black List has partnered with F. Gary Gray’s Fenix Studios to create a new screenwriting opportunity focused on identifying writers interested in writing a smart, elevated action script for the company.
From November 4, 2019 to February 1, 2020, interested screenwriters can submit feature script samples for consideration in the Fenix Studios Screenwriting Opportunity via the Black List website (blcklst.com.) Fenix Studios seeks to select a writer for a two-step blind screenwriting deal via this opportunity.
Script evaluations purchased on blcklst.com by January 1, 2020 will be considered for this partnership. Additional inquiries can also be directed to Black List Support (support@blcklst.com)
Fenix is currently developing a feature adaptation of the video game ECHO (written by Derek Kolstad of the JOHN WICK trilogy) as well as a feature adaptation of the video game franchise SAINT’S ROW, with Greg Russo (MORTAL KOMBAT) writing as a potential directing vehicle for F. Gary Gray.

Did you read the article, PJ? Just another pay to play scheme as it's only available to those who pay for Black List evaluation.
if 1000 people apply for 1 job, pay the $100 BL fee, the grand total of $100,000 will cover all expenses.
But it is an opportunity to legitimately write for a Hollywood company.
I dont see it any different then paying S32 to pitch but thats just me. And Not all of us have reps Dan.

It's completely different. One's an arranged meeting and another is a spin of the roulette wheel.
Anyway, the question has to be asked, why are Fenix studios not already just checking out the six years worth of talented action film writers the Black List should have identified by now?
I was wondering exactly the same thing, CJ Walley .
