The probability of any one story being “successful” is very low, and basically up to luck, though connections to people with the power to move stories (ex. publishers, directors) would significantly help.
Most ex-risk scenarios are perfect material for compelling and entertaining stories. They tap into common tropes (hubris of humans and scientists), are near-future disaster scenarios, and can have opposed hawk and dove characters. I imagine that a successful ex-risk movie could have a narrative shaped like Jurassic Park or The Day After Tomorrow.
My actionable advice is that EA writers and potential EA writers should write EA fiction alongside their other fiction and we should explore connections with publishers.
As a side-note, I wrote an AI-escapes-the-box story the other week, and have since used Midjourney to illustrate it, as is fitting: https://twitter.com/Ideopunk/status/1553003805091979265. If anybody would like to read the first draft, message me!
