A popular screenwriting publication recently listed genres or subgenres that have been deemed ice cold spec-wise by a handful of reputable agents.
Drumroll, please.
The Mob Movie (understandable)
The Western (understandable)
Fantasy (surprised me a little)
Sports (suspect, unless the spec is based on a true story)
The Female Driven Rom-Com (needs a second wind, I agree)
Scripts Based on Movie Industry (we've heard that warning before)
Ensemble Dramas
Period Pieces (no surprise there)
Animation (mostly written from within)
But apparently Kids Adventure Movies (Spy Kids, Goonies) are hot.
If your current script falls into any one of these, willya change up your game plan based on this info or simply take all this with a grain of salt and keep writing?
