Looks like sci fi and fantasy scripts are still performing well. Emergence looks especially exciting. But nice to see a period drama in there too. If DiCaprio gets on board, that should be a great film. (Although personally I'd love to see DiCaprio in something contemporary, even futuristic.)

There are lots of hybrid biopics getting set up. Not the traditional "let's tell the story of an entire historical person's life," but taking a slice of their existence, a compressed time [perhaps a few years or a few months], and using that as a platform to both tell a compelling narrative and give a sense of who that person was. Not as unwieldy as a full-on biopic and probably a better narrative.
