And in The Mail Bag, we’ll answer a question about why box office numbers don’t tell us attendance figures.   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: Ben Mendelsohn In Talks For ‘Captain Marvel’ Villain ‘Geostorm’ Might Lose $100 Million, ‘Jigsaw’ Eyeing a $20+ Million Tom Hardy Will Be Playing Venom Through Motion-Capture Simon Pegg Pitched Edgar Wright a ‘Shaun of the Dead’ Sequel With Vampires ‘American Gangster’ Prequel Series Being Developed, Will Star Forest Whitaker Mark Wahlberg Asked God to Forgive Him For ‘Boogie Nights’ (But Not ‘Transformers’)   Feedback: Performances We can’t imagine anyone else playing: Geoff S: Kathy Bates as Annie Wilkes in Misery Aaron from Iowa City: Ian McKellan as Gandalf. “the Lord of the Rings trilogy is one of the most perfectly cast movies of all-time. I was skeptical of some of the choices, but there is not a bad casting choice in the whole bunch.” Kendra from Maryland: Sigourney Weaver - Ripley - Alien, Ralph Fiennes - M. Gustave - Grand Budapest Hotel, Bruce Willis- John McClane - Die Hard, Alan Rickman - Professor Snape - Harry Potter, Entire Cast - The Color Purple Denzel Washington - Malcolm X Deceptive Trailers: Sterling: “I went to see Suburbicon and WOW that fits the bill. This was nothing like the trailers led me to believe. The trailer was cut aggressively deceptive.  Did any of you guys see it?” Britt D from Austin, TX: It Comes At Night-- the trailer made this film seem as though it would be some sort of creepy, slow-burn monster movie. Instead, it was a really tense family drama/stunted coming-of-age story. My boyfriend and I waited for the "It" of the film's title to reveal itself, which never happened. It wasn't a bad movie, as I found it very emotionally compelling, but it was mis-marketed in what I assume was to draw in a larger audience.  Ghost in the Shell--the trailer was intense, visually striking, and led me to believe that the film would be mysterious. Instead, most of the interesting visuals were right in the first couple of minutes, and the story/main conflict was pretty simple and easy to figure out before the characters worked their way through the conflict. In The Mailbag: Kendra from Maryland writes in: “Why aren't box office indicators in the following categories: number of tickets sold, IMAX tickets sold, and gross revenue?  Tickets sold, would give us a better indication (kind of like record sales) of how many people have actually seen the movie rather than the movie grossed 20M at the box office.  IMAX tickets sold would give us an indication of how many people are really going to see the movie in IMAX, plus the cost is significantly different from a regular movie ticket.  Gross revenue should equal box office sales; depending on geographies the pricing for movies are different plus you have to consider inflation.” To submit questions to the mailbag, send them to peter@slashfilm.com.

On the October 24, 2017 episode of /Film Daily, Peter Sciretta is joined by Hoai-Tran Bui and Chris Evangelista to talk about the latest news, including a War for the Planet of the Apes deleted scene, a Nevermoor movie, Thor Ragnarok box office tracking, a Dora the Explorer movie coming from Michael Bay, and a Logan spin-off film. And in The Mailbag, we’ll talk about character performances you can’t imagine any other actor playing.   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:   ‘War for the Planet of the Apes’ Deleted Scene Reveals What Happened to Jason Clarke’s Malcolm ‘Nevermoor’ Movie Coming From Drew Goddard ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ Tracking for $100 Million-Plus Opening Weekend ‘Dora the Explorer’ Movie Coming From Michael Bay and Nick Stoller ‘Logan’ Spin-Off Starring X-23 In the Works From Director James Mangold   In The Mailbag: Mike F from Victoria, BC, Canada writes in that he just rewatched Darren Aronofsky’s The Wrestler and “it can’t be overstated how effective that movie is on every level.  I was thinking about roles that were not only perfectly cast but ones that you could almost not picture any other actor being able to pull off.  Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool came to mind. So did Jeff Bridges’ portrayal of Otis “Bad” Blake from Crazy Heart.  At the top of my list, tho, has to be Mickey Rourke as Randy “The Ram” Robinson in The Wrestler. Not only was his physical acting and physique perfectly fitting for the character, but, the acting work he does outside of the ring is so convincing, you almost forget it isn’t a real person you’re watching, which makes for an entirely immersive movie viewing experience.  I’m curious if you guys have any film roles that you couldn’t picture anyone else doing.”   Peter’s Picks: Daniel Day Lewis as Daniel Plainview in There Will Be Blood, Harrison Ford in Star Wars, Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight HT’s Picks: Ben Affleck in Gone Girl, Charlize Theron as Furiousa in Mad Max: Fury Road, Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa Chris’ Picks: Mads Mikkelsen, Hannibal; Daniel Day Lewis, gangs of New york; Cate Blanchett, Carol To submit questions to the mailbag, send them to peter@slashfilm.com.
