AMC Mail Bag - Thundercats Ho! Directors In Their Own Films

On this installment of AMC Mail Bag (Sunday January 25th 2015) we take the following viewer emails:
Jake Berlin writes: My question is about Brendan Fraser. I just recently watches 'Crash' again, I forgot that Brendan Frasier was in it. The last time I remember seeing him on the big screen was the last (bad) 'Mummy' movie & before that was that little cameo in the first G.I. Joe. I always thought he was a solid actor, not bad enough to kind of just disappear at least. Thoughts?
David Perez writes: Greetings AMC crew! I Hope you're all having a wonderful day. My question is: How do directors cast themselves in their own movies? Do they go through the same process an actor would go through or do they simply just cast themselves because it's their movie? Examples of what I mean are Ben Affleck in Argo, and Jon Favreau in Chef
Dylan Stocksdale writes: Hey guys love the show! Do you guys think it's possible we might get a Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice Teaser during the Super Bowl? Love to here your thoughts and keep up with great work!
Simon Gaarde Hansen writes: I always hear people complaining about Johnny Depp for bad performences. Sure, he hasn't exactly been on a role lately, but he has had film like public enemies, rango and tusk. It seems like people has forgoten how good he actully is. Why dosn't other actors recive as much critisism? Has it become a "cool" thing to complain about johnny? What is up with this? Thanks, and John, bring on that filthy
Kunnal Kainth writes: Hi AMC! I've started watching your show every day for the past year and I would have to honestly agree with John that it is the "best damn movie related show on the planet earth". My question is regarding about box office failures. Why do some movies financially fail even when there are big name actors attached to it? You would assume studios expect a huge return when they invest in big Hollywood stars. One example that comes into mind is Marvel invests a lot in Robert Downy Jr. because they expects his star power to translate into movie ticket transactions. However, why didn't this workout with "The Judge"?
Alex Espinal writes: I am a huge fan of my 80s cartoons and I would love for a life action film based on the Thundercats, I would love it if it was made in the same fashion as the new Planet of the Apes films. Do you think this might be in the scope of possibility? it was an iconic and popular cartoon series and I'm somewhat surprised no one has ever tackled it. Thanks and love the show.
Jorge Castillo writes: Hey AMC crew, I'm love your show, been seeing it since all begun, my question is, have you ever thought showing AMC studios? Or how you prepared for AMC Movie Talk? Including offices including John's, Amirose’s?
Ricky Mulock writes: Hi everyone! With his collaborations with Jared Leto and Ben Affleck, is there a possibility that David Fincher may be the one to take on the upcoming solo Batman film?
