On this episode of Collider Mail Bag (Saturday September 12th) we take the following viewer emails: Jordan O'Donovan writes: If you had to bet money on it, do you think the title for Star Wars Episode 8 (since it starts shooting this month) will come out before the release of The Force Awakens or a short time after it's release. Personally, I would rather get the title of the next movie at the end of the credits like at the end of the Back To The Future movies for example, rather than footage for Rouge One as I think it would play better into story continuity rather than have it released for chronological order and as a marketing strategy and keep the Anthology films as their own thing. Would love to hear your thoughts! Richard Pease writes: I've been watching your show for a long time now every day I can. Recently you guys talked about how Ben Affleck will likely be directing the next DC batman movie. This brought me back to a question that I have had for a while but never bothered to check into. How does an actor of a movie also direct a movie? Do they have a temporary director for their own scenes? Are they constantly going back and forth from acting a scene to re-watching it to see what needs adjusting? Is there no set way to do it? Jessie Andrews writes: What if Fox announced Joss Whedon as the director for the Fantastic Four sequel? Could this revitalize the series? Vaatla writes: I just became aware that Disney's live-action version of THE JUNGLE BOOK will open in IMAX theaters on April 15, just 3 weeks after BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE and 3 weeks before CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR. What gives? How come Disney signed a deal for STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS to be screened in IMAX for 4 whole weeks, but Warner Bros. is only entitled to have BvS released in IMAX for 3 weeks? I really miss the good old days when I could enjoy a wonderful summer while THE DARK KNIGHT was playing in IMAX theaters for 2 whole months and I could watch it multiple times in that format (2008). Please, I'd love to know your thoughts on this matter. Paulie Cera writes: I love you guys so much. Huge fan. Why is it that James Cameron is seldom referenced along with the other great directors of our time? I've heard people on this show, refer to Ben Affleck as one of the greats, and those are TWO very good movies but not Cameron's caliber. He's raked in huge truckloads of $$ w/ Avatar, T-2, Titanic, Abyss, True lies, Aliens. James created technology so that he may shoot Avatar. The guy has also launched careers from the above movies ie Schwarzenegger & DiCaprio. So John, what's your thoughts? Is he up there with Coppola, Scorsese, & Spielberg? David King writes: I just wanted to know your thoughts on TV episodes being shown at Movie theatres? For example in 2013 the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who was in movie theatres across the world, this happened again last year when the first episode of Doctor Who season 8 was also shown in movie theatres. So I just wanted to know...why do they do it? and why do people even go to see something at a movie theatre they could watch on their TVs for free? I would love to know your thoughts on this, I love the show keep up the great work. Ashley Arnold writes: Hi collider guys and gals love the show! My question is regarding press screenings vs opening night, I was just wondering if there is any film that you have watched or is coming out that you would rather see on a pack out opening night then a press screening for example Star Wars. Carl writes: I would like you to take a trip down memory lane to the 2006 Oscars when Crash surprisingly won the award for best picture. I have always argued that Brokeback Mountain was denied the award because the academy was terrified that there would be a backlash against them from certain conservative elements in the US government or general public. Only a month previously it had won the best picture award at the BAFTA's (UK awards) with no fuss. I would like to hear your opinions on the matter.
