A COUPLE OF DICKS No Longer

There have been some rumors leading up to this, but the announcement finally came this evening via a series of 140-characters-or-less tweets from Kevin Smith himself.

The Movie Formerly Known as A COUPLE OF DICKS has finally settled on a (network-policy-dictated) replacement title! While we’ll always have DICKS in our hearts, the title we just now locked makes me smile on a bunch of different levels – including this 1: we can now advertise our movie properly (& ironically). And said marketing begins… on every print of SHERLOCK HOLMES, Christmas Day!

Warner Brothers has brought the hammer down and forced Smith to change the title of his upcoming buddy cop film starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan.   The studio has been fighting Smith on the title ever since the film’s inception.   This is nothing new to Smith, who had troubles getting ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO through the MPAA.

Hopefully, fans of Kevin Smith’s work will be as warm to the film’s new title as Smith himself is in that series of tweets.   He could just be saving face at this moment in front of the studio brass.   The new title is being kept under wraps, and we may not know what it is until the film’s trailer is released in front of SHERLOCK HOLMES.
