AMC Mail Bag - What's The Rock's Best Movie? Sherlock Holmes 3?

On this episode of AMC Mail Bag (Sunday April 20th 2014) we take the following viewer emails:



Chris Covington writes: Hey guys my name is Chris and i love the show. I absolutely LOVED both Sherlock Holmes movies. I think there is no better on-screen chemistry than Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law. My question is when is Guy Ritchie going to be making a 3rd Sherlock Holmes movie and if there is one in the near future ( and i PRAY there will be) what would you like the storyline to be? I personally would love to see Holmes vs Jack the ripper or something along those lines. Anyways keep up the good work guys!



Truthh Huletty-Netter writes: Hey guys! Love the show haven't missed it since I turned 19! My question is, why in the world is TASM2 Advertising soooo much? I literally cannot get away from it it's becoming downright annoying. Don't they already know everyone is going to go see it? What is the market strategy in bombarding us with constant spidey? Thanks! And keep up the incredible work.



eugene jones writes: I was just watching the "Rundown" and I was thinking IMHO the best Rock movie. What are you guys fav Rock movie?


Aaron Oates writes: Hey everyone love the show nevr disappointed my question just saw the trailer for Tommy Lee Jones new movie the homesman and have to say im intrigued ive always enjoyed his work and was just wondering what yalls thoughts on it.Keep up the great work.



Jason O Connor writes: With the new Dawn of the Planet of the Apes movie coming, and possibly a third movie, should it continue on with its own story or should it tie up loose ends with the original 1968 classic?



K.C.Brann writes: Greetings and salutations AMC Movie Talkers, I recently saw that Paramount was in talks to reboot Friday the 13th, with David Bruckner helming the project. Since this series had a fresh reboot in 2009, is this the best option, or should Paramount make a sequel to the 2009 film. Thanks for answering, and keep bringing on the filthy!

mistake your
mailbag questions man in show on cam
p.m. the energy maim see
movie news and I'm so glad to hear and
I'm also glad today to be joined by what
are the newest members uva
AMC movie news mister Christian our
lockers in a dawn
I'm doing great John happy to be back
it's a it's a lot of fun doing these now
back sessions
yeah I love doing the mail bags
accidental made by most enjoyable things
I do with ames who is actually so
hitless in case you guys don't know if
you would like to hear your question on
AMC
either ames email to a movie talk or EMC
mailbag
you can email us anytime at this e-mail
address you see below me here at
AMC movie talk at gmail dot com every
day on AMC movie talk Monday through
Friday we take a couple questions
answered his son is you take a whole
buncha questions I get them here on the
show so
with all that being said let's get into
the first question today and the first
question today
comes to us from Chris Covington who
writes
hey guys my name is Chris and I love the
show thank you so much Chris
I absolutely loved both Sherlock Holmes
movies
I think there's no better on-screen
chemistry the Robert Downey junior and
Jude Law
my question is when this guy Ritchie
going to be making a third Sherlock
Holmes movie
and if they're is one in the near future
and I pray that there will be
what would you like the storyline to be
I personally would love to see Sherlock
Holmes worse is Jack the Ripper
or something along those lines anyway
keep up the good work guys
I'll well let's start with you Christian
like what do you think about Sherlock
Holmes
the first couple the men and where would
you wanna see a third one go if you want
to see a third one at all
there's already a script I know that for
a fact
on but as far as God Robert a juniors
kinda busy man
so I getting him on board is one thing
and then you're trying to get guy
Ritchie as well
it's something in the process by Tom but
it looks as if I don't know what script
is about it is now that's done I would
like to see Jack the Ripper I think that
be a lot of fun I think that you could
do lotto
fun things with the style I kinda I
would like to see Guy Ritchie come back
I didn't really love the second one
I loved the first one om but I would
like to see
hey let's see I Richie come back because
the style is interesting
for what he's doing I like to see a
consistent tone especially if you can do
it you might as well do it
a trilogy with it to see how it goes
down and I agree that the chemistry
between Jude Law
and Robert engineer was something
special yeah i i myself I actually
really enjoyed
I the first now I did for for the for
Charlotte homes
over the second one but I'll give that a
this though wanna things a second one
had over the first one
um was the jerod Harris
play moriarty cuz bliss moriarty I mean
he is the Joker to Sherlock Holmes as
Batman he is the quintessential
Sherlock Holmes join and I thought he
played him great
I'm so while I thought overall the film
was a step down
I i thought they had a great villain and
let's face it the first film also had a
very strong billeted a great actor
playing it
but I I just really like the Moriarty
think that one guy who can outsmart
Sherlock Holmes A keep Sherlock own be
ahead a Sherlock Holmes
you know two steps every step of the way
in as far as
where they're going to go with their own
I do believe they're going to do a third
one
a guy Ritchie is just said number times
it's just a matter of then getting
together
I the schedule for Jude Law and Robert
Downey Jr these are two very busy guys
especially Robert energy right now now
but I do believe they're gonna do a
third one
as far as well which direction they want
I'd like to see them go
II wanna see more moriarty I really do I
wanna see more
but her to if you will love the battle
between the battle of wits the battle
bit like between Sherlock Holmes
and Professor Moriarty I relax in go
that way because the way the
ended the second one it leaves it open
for that and while a jack the ripper is
very intriguing and I'd totally be on
board for that
I wanna see Jared Harris back for me
could do both
yeah I mean look look at the door
spider-man you know they could do you do
to villains in the fact maybe
first Jack the Ripper somehow being a I
dunno health or we could go silent so
Lanza moriarty helps
Sherlock Holmes catch jack the ripper or
not that that's actually great idea
that's that's it there it is right there
regarded she hope you're going to grab
it
alright so the next question we've got
today comes to us
all the way from truth hot lead matter
who writes
hey guys love the show haven't missed it
since I turn 19
well I that's awesome I'd debate as
always you can just turned 19 yesterday
s'pose
up my question is why in the world is
the amazing spider-man 2
advertising's so much
I'd literally cannot get away from it
it's becoming downright annoying
don't they already know everyone is
gonna go see it what is the marketing
strategy in bombarding us with Constance
piety
thanks and keep up the incredible work
well you know but never you're not the
only one
who has complained about the amount I
love
up marketing going into the amazing
spider-man 2
in I don't mind tons and tons marketing
what I got a little fatigued with myself
is that not only did you have tons
marketing
you had tons a variety in the marketing
so I just felt like
every other day we had brand new
pictures from the amazing spider-man two
brand new TV spots brand new trailer new
footage new clip
new seem like any it just feels like if
you probably
add up all the scenes and the footage in
everything
we've probably got no less than 10
minutes at the film
that we probably have ten full minutes
above the film already just in the
marketing at some point I think
you gotta put the brakes on you've shown
enough and I'll be honest with you
a number of weeks ago I gave up on
anything brand-new from spider-man like
I would look in the news headlines the
news feeds
NC new behind-the-scenes picture would
look at it wouldn't talk about on AMC
movie talk
new TV spot for amazing spider-man we've
already done
new TV spots amazing spider-man four
times I'm not doing another one and I'm
not looking anymore
you've sold me I'm done I'm ready to see
the movie I don't wanna see more
marketing
as version 1.0 about don't 30 know that
every gonna go see it well
not everybody's gonna go see it I mean
it the first the amazing spider-man made
about seven hundred million dollars
worldwide
but the Avengers made 1.2 billion so
they're still a lot of people that are
out there to get
you write their strategy seems to be
bombarding us
and see what happens and and look maybe
it is the right strategy I know it
turned me off a little bit
but I'm still excited about the movie
but we all timidly will see on opening
weekend May 2nd this movie comes out see
how
effective this marketing strategy was in
the Christian your thoughts on on
you know the the marketing strategy how
much marty the amazing spider-man we've
seen so far
I thought that I'm must've been
sleepwalking and wrote that letter to
you
I sack how I feel om
I am society I talked about it on your
on on our shows factor like its weird is
that you gotta say our show now
yeah I'm get about I like it like a lot
om
but I but I remember being one tactical
like a week or two weeks ago the fact
that
I'm sick at the trailers I don't need to
see it you know and I i get i I also
agree with your point
100 percent the back I don't think
everyone's gonna see this movie
I think that a lot of people are people
I like the first one a lot of people
didn't like people some people hated it
and so
maybe Marvel Studios is a beast in
everyone is trying to compete with
Marvel Studios have sony is saying
all man the big I think that their
people talk about him in a minute I'm
coming out we gotta show them
spider-man that's all we Gott spider-man
spider-man spider-man and its
did it all got right now so they're
they're shoving it down our throats to
let you know that it's the first
official summer movie captain america:
Winter Soldier
not counting cals able but its it's the
first big movie the summer
does that mean that I like what they're
doing no what to wear understand it
kind of right now I I completely agree
with you
alright then let's move on to the next
question today and the third question
today
comes to us from Eugene Jones who writes
I was just watching the rundown I love
that movie I'll
and I was thinking in my opinion I
the it is in my opinion the best rock
movie what are your guys's
favorite rock movie all good question
a so of course Christian I'm gonna get
you to go first what is your favorite
movie with the rock
look I like the rock more when he's a
little more the serious roles I know a
lot about him like it I don't care I
like snatch
I thought he was great what's not to
like about snatch I I thought it was a
really nice
look nice little movie I dug his yeah it
show that he had some acting chops you
don't have to just rely on his brute
strength is our time Scott he
he got his head handed to him and it and
you believe feeling okay we
it just as a greedy feeling I like that
who and what was the and the other one
was the other great you wondered that I
at what's on a two by four my god did
the remake
but up I'm I'm Wayne
for walking but was it walkie talkie
talkie yeah so it walking tall is
another one that I really liked
that he wasn't too is it show the
serious when he first came out
like back in 2001 was ever wanna say
he could be like the next Arnold and
then he started doing
go for your movies and it started to get
away from him but
those movies like snatch and walking
tall and hopefully
Hercules on will really show up with
this guy can do
painting game wasn't he was actually
pretty good in pain again so
you with what I talk about the Sun AMC
movie talk you once while the rock is
evolved from a strictly
physical presence and charisma driven
machine
to actually being a serviceable
Hollywood actor now it might not to him
an Academy Award no
but no longer do you just get the rockin
think oh you're just getting him because
he's the smile he's the body
he's the Act no he is a serviceable now
a legitimate serviceable Hollywood actor
and you combine that with his just off
the charts charisma
and his physical beastly presence and
you've got just
maybe the biggest movie star in the
world right now I mean it's it's kinda
crazy
as far as my favorite performance my
favorite rock movie
man I am he was awfully funny in get
shorty
or are they here the list the cycle and
yeah I'm he was awfully funny in that
he's got a lotta natural comedic timing
is very funny
I love them both Fast and the Furious
movies I i really thought he brought a
really nice to mention a both those
but I'm gonna have to go with you do not
gonna see rundown rundown might might
still be my favorite what it is we
really got to
sir to stop so Peter Berg right yeah
and I'm I believe on Monday they start
shooting his new movie that san andreas
the well repays the yard the helicopter
pilot after california gets basically
messed up by a the big one the big
earthquake in his hunting in searching
for his daughter so
they'll be interesting to see two I
don't know how the rock is gonna fight
an earthquake but they're gonna figure
out a way
I'm sure def alright next question the
fourth one day comes to us from
Aaron oats an error notes rights
hey everyone love the show never
disappoint never disappointed my
question
just saw the trailer for Tommy Lee Jones
is new movie
the homes when and I have to say I'm
intrigued up always enjoyed his work
and was just wondering what y'all start
other to keep up the great work well
I'm yeah I saw the trailer for homes
were not long ago myself these adjusted
within like the last 72 hours I saw for
the first time
I and it should be noted to its not just
him and I mean you got Hilary Swank in
there too
who also looks really good luck this
feels to me
a lot like a.m.
her hotel with the name the brothers who
did the a who did the
No Country for Old Men I'm I'll a you
don't want talk not rutskoi yeah
it this it fell the trailer felt like a
cold Brothers movie
it really did and I you know he is
a great actor he's a little bit
difficult to deal with
I especially when John gets is almost
impossible to deal with but I heard
yeah but I'm tired but there is no to
like I I kid you not true story
so we did the press junket at the time I
didn't cover it force I sent I
Roth cornet who was our a movie news
editor at the time
I sent her to go to the junket for men
in black 3
and one of the better views that obvious
issues really excited about is Tommy Lee
Jones
and I kid you not she came back brought
the footage shows you guys have got to
see
my Tommy Lee Jones interview and just
please no it's not my fault
so we put in the interview
and it starts and she's like asks a
great question you know
coming back for the third time is the
old you see the merit and so they got in
in a
building story over several cinematic
pieces
as opposed to just one shot movies I kid
you not Tommy Lee Jones looked at Argus
yes okay
then she goes into the next question you
know up would you do with a red actual
oh did you feel extra pressure coming in
when you have a %uh growing property
like this
that the fans just keep growing and
growing growing and you coming back to
and they're excited said you find that
that ever ads
extra pressure do as a performer do you
come back for Rose like this the desired
his bishop or
looks at her no
and that's it and so that she was just
she's now like
completely demoralized issue worships
this guy
Android and you look I if you've ever
been any these press junkets
these actors have to sit in a chair with
bright lights on them for like
nine hours right be asked repetitive
questions or I get it it's tough but
he's a tough to deal with but thats
that's what they say but you know that
big
that the chatting with a difference in
maybe im promotion for this one is what
is he directs this cracked
on to say I didn't know that I think I
think I might be wrong but I thought he
directed this one
I might be wrong I am but I regardless I
this looks like the perfect I'm really
Jones Rowley's is it down
lyle up I haven't seen a good West ran a
little bit so I'm excited for that I'm
by the way you're absolutely right he is
he did actually directed some to
you're right okay so that's why I think
you're gonna see a lot more effort
into expand even even with public you
know with the EO is look welcomes his
performance zoe's always
there are many many Captain America he
was there you know he's there
I he's got like 50 films I can think of
one
were looked to me like he wasn't even
trying like it like there was no effort
and in each can mail the
and that was that that damn Batman movie
now right
it but other than that he always always
brings it
he always shows up in nine the TSE it
look cranky people are cranky people
believe
6.7 diesel cracking too cranky old
grandfather that's what he is you know
but it
the the better the the question on
tables cars the movie 8 like you said
John you get Hilary Swank in a two-time
Oscar 18 at
you that I really don't in a park
project obviously
are passionate about so and I like this
is kinda like that the lawn renegade
news kinda stuck on
in this mission that he owes his woman
is life now is out on this mission you
know the its characterize your beloved
like a
like I True Grit Thai movie no I
absolutely
and I'll I'm I am also as curious
om as the writer Los
now and get this game is not just him
and Hilary Swank get this
Jonathan with Dow right not a bad name
I Tim Blake Nelson David Fichtner
I alt run himself i James Spader
okay I mean this is a hell this is some
pretty big talent lining up to work with
him as a director so
if I'm I hear it I dot cause family
Jones calls you up
I you a say yes to the family jaane bhi
you don't want to
by your I alright let's move on to the
next question today
and the next question today comes to us
from
Jason O'Connor who writes with the new
dawn of the Planet of the Apes movie
coming
and possibly a third movie should
continue with its own story
or should a tie blue sans with the
original 1968 classic
I'm Christian if you're in charge have
done playing to the Apes in in this
whole franchise
do try to align it more and more
with the original 1961 or do not really
worry about that just walk in your
direction
I would absolutely align it with the
first with the original and they were
doing it in the first one
on you just feel a little Easter eggs
and stuff but you got to a
gotta look for it but if you the show
the launch of trauma
since spaceship the they mention them
there there are a lot of nods to the
original movie
in the first why not just don't like a
here's know much
the that looks like its high into the
original franchise I think you have to
but we also have to realize that the
original one takes place might be year
3200 or something so in the trilogy were
gonna get it still with the No
100 200 years so we discussing the
evolution
up what happens I'm going to differ with
you a little bit on this I'm gonna go
with glowing your own direction while
continuing to drop little easter eggs at
the apt I was actually
want those guys I was pretty excited in
the theater personal I loved
the first film nothin 1861 the but most
previous while James Franco
iight great film and I was one of the
guys all admit
when they announce it I was like do we
need another planet of the apes. movie
but the Sept oh yeah I really did and so
I was pessimistic but
II love the job they did with it and I
was really excited in the theater to
when you see the newspaper articles
and you hear the mentioning you know the
astronaut that's taking off in a ship in
you see those tie-ins and that's awesome
and I believe you continue to do that
where you can
but at the same time I would encourage
them to not feel beholden
to it the elite but then again it's not
like
there are a million different plot
points they have to make sure they align
with
at some point in the future the Apes
takeover that's really the only place in
need and within endured good so
I I'd say either way they're gonna end
up in the same place
so i'd that was my point is a fact that
they give a it did
like the Easter race lead up to what
we're venturing to get in the year 3000
threes
the cap cover all that and remove Ezio
it just as long as that you said it
dropped a little it is to raise him to
their hands there what's gonna happen
because
it's a different it's almost like a
different time line by the time we get
to the original
completely agree alright let's get on to
the next question today and now it's
actually our final question today
and our final question of the day comes
as from KC brand who writes
greetings and salutations AMC movie talk
urs I recently saw that paramount was in
talks to reboot Friday the 13th
with David Buckner helming the project
since the series had a fresh reboot
in 2009 is this the best option
or should paramount make a sequel to the
2009 film
thanks for answering and keep bringing
the filthy
but no no you don't you don't make a
sequel to the 2009 film
I am I want got actually a friend of
mine who's in that film
I and you know I was really excited that
she was in it
and I went to go see cuz she was in it
and it the movie is just terrible I was
also really sad cuz Jared Padalecki at
these houses name
I'm from my a supernatural which is my
favorite
show on TV right now that in a row
and I wanted to like it man I wanted to
be into it and I just was not
I just could not just muster any
enthusiasm for what they did in that
film
and I think look Friday 13th is in a
mortal franchise an immortal title
if you try something and it didn't work
don't worry about it scrap it thrown in
the trash heap
start again because above the name
people will give it a shot
and I think we restart reboot Friday the
13th and I do think people will be there
to give it a shot
and if you make it well then you've got
a new franchise on your hand if not
you have to throw back in the garbage
can wait three or four more years and
rebooted again
I'm so no i i really don't think be a.m.
a topic that
you want to get away from the failure
the first one
the first or is not a blockbuster people
weren't happy with that see don't want
to make a sequel to that film you want
to rid yourself for the stench of
failure
and Mu and start again and I think that
is the right thing you can't do that
with every franchise you can't just
Rehberg everybody here it would just
any franchise but I think Friday the
13th is where those titles that you can
do that with so anyway Christian how
would you handle it
hess et neither one of those options I
just sitting as he hears a problem in
the main problem and I don't know who
runs the same problem again
is that the movie has become a parody of
itself
on yeah because like even it %um you not
why I would rather than continue to
Freddy vs Jason storyline bike to me
that was
Italy thing I was watching a wrestling
match was stupid but I had fun watching
these two
like oh he must go after one another
this thing that they're
the reboot was like I feel less of a
million times day you can if you're a
harp and that and you want is good like
a midnight screening
and laughing jump it all the stupid
kills the other than that that could be
fun
the only thing that scares me about this
new reboot is that this to a talking
about how it's gonna be a found footage
version other Friday the 3rd ok dear
heavens you serious I did not here yet
at the big that's the big thing that's
been going around at about putting our
own amino
meets I like the found footage versions
love Chronicle
and now we had now we have this new one
coming out I forget the name but with
the the ET meet
supernatural on are what is it
Art Deco that one earth to echo is the
one that i AI
that that's the one but does have some
movies I like that found footage I don't
need anymore hearth and home care
chasen's runner on either I'm
I'm kinda done with row 13 do you
remember I
a long time race rollback about seven
years ago
where they there was a real effort under
way to get Freddie verses Jason versus
ash
remember that capsule I'll have helped
that's what I would've watched
I would've been so on board with that I
I just think the the
it would have the best to the slasher
with the best of comedy
as well I think would really
entertaining and I'm really ever get
that they never came about
yeah me too I but I can I'm hoping the
from what they did in a table dead
remake it looked like they'd be Sam
Raimi has every intention of trying to
get ash back a
