AMC Mail Bag - Does STAR WARS Even Need A Trailer?

On this episode of AMC Mail Bag (Saturday Auguest 16th 2014) we take the following viewer emails:

Jesse Vargas writes: Hey AMC, love the show and never miss an episode. My question is about Edge of Tomorrow, do you think it's a good idea for Warner Bros. to change the title to Live. Die. Repeat. before it's released on DVD and Blu-Ray later this year? Personally, I think the studio should have stayed with its original title, All You Need is Kill. Thanks and keep up with the good work.

Justin Knapich writes: Hey guys and gals of AMC. Long time fan from way back. First I want to say thank you for being part of my daily routine. Anyway.. Since Star Wars VII is coming into theaters, do you think they will re-release the originals in the theaters (IV,V,VI) I would think it would be great for the people that never experienced them and also for the ones that have. On top of most likely bringing in some great money. What do you guys think?

Jason I writes: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember John saying that he considers two of the top three male acting performances to be Daniel Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood and Colin Firth in the King's Speech. My question is, what about the third actor?

Hi AMC movie crew, I love your show. Godzilla 2014 was my favorite summer movie this year and I am more than happy that it is getting a trilogy. I just recently heard that Godzilla 2 just got a release date on June 8, 2018. My question is: Do you guys think that the relatively weak word-of-mouth which caused the movie to plummet over 66% at the box office in its second weekend?

Ben Godec writes: Hey everybody. Love me or hate me for this, but I was thinking for either Star Wars or Batman / Superman if they didn't release any trailers or footage, would they still make roughly the same amount of money? Even if you did a teaser or something with font saying "Be Ready" because lets face it, we are. What if they publicized it differently? Could it be a game changer for marketing? Why not do it?

Jonathan Bell writes: Hey guys! If Expendables 3 doesn't do as good as even the second, could this be the end of the series?

Kevin Serrano writes: Hi everyone! This show is awesome!! I've been watching it for over three months now (very addicting). I've been thinking, how would a Justice League film be if Christopher Nolan directed it? And which legendary directors (Alfred Hitchcock, Martin Scorsese, Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch etc.) would you have liked to helm a super hero film? Thank you and keep bringing the goods!

Jimmy Bender writes: Hey Guys and Gals at AMC, I love your show! One of the things that I love about your show is that you show a true passion and joy about movies. You may have movies you dislike, but you can really tell you love movies and convey that in your show. Unfortunately, that seems to be rare now. I listened to another movie review show and it seemed like he talked more about movies that he felt were awful more than any movie he enjoyed. Do you feel that there is more negativity in the media now when talking about movies?

Sean Halon writes: Hi guys, love the show, can't get enough! My question regards the upcoming film Serena, staring Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper. The film is due to be released here in the UK on October 24th but there is no trailer or advertisement for this film whatsoever. Shouldn't there be some sort of advertising by now? I don't want to sound negative but does this mean bad things for the film in terms of the studios belief in it? I loved the chemistry of these two in Silver Linings Playbook and can't wait to see them work together again!

Nicolas writes: Greetings and salutations amc movie talk crew, my question is what is the next "Star Wars" in terms of nostalgia, is guardians in 10 or 20 years going to be considered one of the greats in sci-fi? Thanks and keep it up!

Joe Hogan writes: Hey guys love the show! I was just wondering with the passing of Robin Williams could we see a autobiography movie of his life of how he started, his ups and downs, and how it ended? Possibly sometime in the near future. Thanks and keep up the good work!
