Current Events > What new big film genre could emerge next?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Big music genres are always being made. At least in terms of overall huge genres with really distinct sounds there's been dubstep, trap, hardstyle, vaporwave, hyperpop, etc.. in the last 2 decades

New video game genres keep emerging like battle royale, moba, sandbox, walking sims, etc..

However, there hasn't been any massive new film genre in years. The same big codified genres have existed for decades now

I feel like battle royale film genre could gain even more traction to become even more of its own thing. Squid Game is very popular. I've also read about more futuristic utopian sci-fi films maybe becoming next big thing.

I do realize it's hard for an overall meta genre like action, adventure, western, sci-fi, drama, comedy, horror, thriller, musical to emerge so subgenre would be fine too but I guess anything is possible.

probably something gimmicky like choose your own adventure

I imagine its only a matter of time before anime adaptations are figured out. Once that happens itll be non stop Marvel style.

While not a genre Id love to see more time period movies be filmed with a filter that makes them look like theyre from that time

Example being if you watch Halloween or Friday The 13th you can tell theyre from the 70s or 80s just in the look alone.

Modern films that take place in the past just look too HD and clean to me so if they intentionally made it have a inferior quality to look like it was actually filmed in the 70s it would add a lot of charm to the movie

Reality TV movies.

Do modern theaters even have real film projector anymore? I assumed they went digital only like a decade ago.

movies have decades on video games, and it might not seem as if they're progressing on the same scale because we've taken for granted how much they've accomplished along the way.

whether it's through narrative structures, filming techniques, and so on.

These are interesting articles that theorize a sort of new pandemic era genre. This would make sense. I can see how time goes and people retreat more inside cut off from real world interactions, remote work, remote school, augmented reality of seeing their own reality, etc.. as maybe seeds for a genre that encompasses more than just viruses.

there's a horror movie that uses the zoom format, since it takes place during the COVID-19 pandemic.

I appreciated how original it felt.

it's called Host.

Romantic fart comedies.

Like romantic comedies but the majority of the humor is toilet humor, especially fart jokes.

Hard-core Henry tried to push 1st person films into being a thing. Doesn't seem to have really taken off as anything more than a gimmick so far tho.

Isn't that every Seth Rogen movie?
