And in the Mail Bag, we’ll be talking about movie trailers that show no footage from the movie itself.   You can subscribe to /Film Daily on iTunes, Google Play, Overcast and all the popular podcast apps (here is the RSS URL if you need it).   In the News: Joss Whedon Likes Tweet Dissing ‘Justice League’ Villain, But The Tweet is Right MoviePass Reveals Annual Subscription For $6.95/Month, But Is It A Deal? Rumor: ‘The Batman’ Director Has a Back-Up Batman in Mind If Ben Affleck Bails ‘Fantastic Beasts’ Sequel Title Revealed as ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald,’ First Look and Synopsis Revealed Marvel’s Multiple Man is Getting a Movie, James Franco to Play the Self-Replicating X-Man Rampage’ Trailer: Dwayne Johnson Takes on a Trio of Giant Monsters   In The Mailbag:  Sherwin writes in “With the release of the new Deadpool 2 teaser today, I was just curious what you all thought about this style of trailer. By that, I mean how the content doesn't really show too much of the film but showcases the main character in a fun way outside of the movie. I personally love it and it's not done often, but I wouldn't mind if more movies were promoted in this fashion.” Peter’s Picks: Jurassic Park (mosquito in amber), Psycho (6.5 min hitchcock giving a tour of the set), Godzilla (98 - dinosaur museum foot), The Incredibles (my incredible office suiting up) HT’s Picks: Where the Wild Things Are, Lilo and Stitch, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Ben’s Picks: Terminator 2, Back to the Future, Hook, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade   Other posts referenced in this episode: The best teaser trailers of all time.   To submit questions to the mailbag, send them to peter@slashfilm.com.

On the November 15, 2017 episode of /Film Daily, Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film senior writer Ben Pearson and writer Hoai-Tran Bui to discuss the latest news, including the Rotten Tomatoes score and box office tracking for Justice League, Quentin Tarantino wants to cast Tom Cruise in his next film, what Christopher Tolkien resigning from the Tolkien Estate means for the future of Lord of the Rings, and Mel Gibson is up for the Joe Carnahan time-loop film Boss Level. In The Mailbag, we'll be questioning our abilities to separate the art from the artist.   You can subscribe to /Film Daily on iTunes, Google Play, Overcast and all the popular podcast apps (here is the RSS URL if you need it).   In the News: ‘Justice League’ Rotten Tomatoes Score Leaked Early and It’s Surprising Opening Weekend ‘Justice League’ Box Office Tracking Higher Than ‘Wonder Woman’, Lower Than ‘BvS’ Tom Cruise Wanted For Quentin Tarantino’s Manson Movie Christopher Tolkien Resigns From the Tolkien Estate – Does This Mean More ‘Lord of the Rings’ Movies and Shows? ‘Boss Level’ Will Be Joe Carnahan’s Spin on the ‘Groundhog Day’ Movie Formula    In The Mailbag:  Mark S from Phoenix writes in “after all the allegations against many heavyweights in Hollywood, is it acceptable to separate a person from their art. Can I still laugh at Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris", can I still be in awe at Roman Polanski's "The Pianist", can I still be mesmerized by Brett Ratner's "Red Dragon"? And not solely the filmmakers; "Manchester by the Sea" was one of my favorite films last year, but the more I heard about Casey Affleck and his allegations, the more I felt guilty for praising a man who has committed such atrocities.   We all make mistakes, but for those whose actions are unforgivable, do you think we should still celebrate their cinematic achievements?  Love the podcast, keep it up guys!”   To submit questions to the mailbag, send them to peter@slashfilm.com.
