Don’t each of these feel like they fit with their listed predecessors in presenting a very clear kind of emotional story/problem experience for an audience? And might it help in our own writing to make sure our movie ideas do the same? I highly suggest watching these trailers, and checking my work here. See the “Save the Cat” subgenre chart on the “Cat” website for a handy breakdown of same. I haven’t seen any of these films yet, as they haven’t been released, but these previews in each case seemed to be selling a very specific type of story which has been done many times successfully in the past – and which happen to fit one of the fifty such types Blake Snyder presented in Save the Cat Goes to the Movies (with five subgenres each for the ten “genres” he presented in the original “Cat” book). I just saw trailers for five new movies which all fit clear “Save the Cat” subgenres – my favorite tool for developing viable script ideas.
