Content: These human vs. machine storylines open up intriguing story themes about whether or not we will push technology to the point when technology takes over. Is playing God worth that sacrifice? Is creating artificial intelligence going to spiral out of control? The science fiction genre is one of the most popular genres in Hollywood because it explores where science and technology could take us as a human race — and where it could possibly leave us in ashes if we’re not too careful. Humans are curious by nature, so these thematic questions bring audiences to the movie theaters by showcasing answers to some of the best “What If…” questions we have about the future and the technology we’re so obsessed with studying and manufacturing. gif (1×1)
These are the seven most intriguing story themes that audiences are attracted to in neverending fashion — undying trends that screenwriters can always chase. Forget zombie movies, vampire movies, contained action, horror flicks, and any other trend that will come and go. Instead of trend-chasing, screenwriters should be theme-chasing. And if you want to increase your odds of reaching an audience (which includes scripts readers, producers, development executives, agents, and managers), look no further than the everlasting themes of Good vs. Evil, Love, Perseverance (Underdogs), Come of Age, Justice (and Revenge), Human vs. Nature, and Human vs. Machine.
