Hey all! I’m very excited to announce that last night I finished the first pass assembly/rough cut of Untitled Search for God (still not the real title). It clocks in at 102 minutes and features numerous problems that will be solved by a year’s worth of audio re-recording, fine-tuning, color correction, special visual effects and weeping. It’s all part of the creative process.
One more matter of business: we are still without an actual title for the movie, which we need before we can start putting out trailers and other promotional material. I have a couple that I’m playing around with, but I’m willing to entertain suggestions. So the comments thread for this post is the chance for all of you to make suggestions and slug it out with other readers. The only criterion: It cannot contain the word ‘untitled.’ Have at it!
102 minutes? Wow, that is awesome.
When I talk about it with Mikhail he always says the he likes the title “Dog ate God” or something to that affect. I think that is a good one, or at least playing off the Dog/God thing in some way. Though, I guess that could be using one joke too often.
I will try and think on this more, but I still haven’t found the copy of the script Ethan sent me a while ago…so I really have nothing to go off for a title.
I’d like to put in my vote for any title which does not contain the word “God.” Please. Pretty please?
“God or Dog?”
or
“Honey, I can’t choose a religion”
or
“Search for God”
or
“John’s Search for God”
or
“What the hell kind of a name is Fran?”
I would agree with Greg quite adamantly here. I’ve always maintained that this movie has very little to do with God.
Okay, then how about “John’s Wacky Adventure with a Vampire Hunter!”
or… “Memories: A story of forgiveness”
or “Woof Woof Bang Bang”.
Anyhoo, I sleep now, Oh, and I’m back in Colorado.
Hooray! Justification for existence!
Take that, Aristophanes!
Vyyyni! We’re on at the same time! How nice. I’m giving you a sweet mental hug right now. A big one.
BTW, I posted a thing in the forum. Direct thy eyes.
I concur with the lack of God in the title.
I concur with, “What the Hell Kind of a Name is Fran?”
and
“Franhandled.”
But in all seriousness:
Dog Lies. Illusions of Grandeur. The Purpose of the Question Why.
Incriminating Purposes. 16 Heads (And Counting?). Consider An Alternative. There’s Got to Be. Knifed. Out of the Woods. My Girlfriend is a Serial Killer. In All Seriousness.
Yeah, I’ll keep thinking about it.
The Problem With Choice. Dances with Vampires. (Hahah.)
Still reading the script but: “Franic Depressive” (with or without “disorder”)
This film is so weird… it really has nothing to do with God, vampires, or dogs… or the mob, or love… What the hell is this movie about? I don’t even know.
Sorry, can’t help you there. I just directed the thing. No idea what it’s actually about.
Well, dammit, Andrew… and we know Ethan doesn’t know what it’s about… Hell.
It’s about a part time gas station worker trying to unearth a deadly secret from 30 BC, isn’t it?
Or is it about a treasure hunter looking for the lost diary of John Wilkes Booth in order to clear his fathers’ name of assassinating Lincoln.
Wait…I’ve got it well call it “National Treasure: Book of Secrets”
Genius! We’ll get Nicholas Cage to do the voiceover for our trailer!
Yeah, yeah! It’ll be a number one smash!
Kind of late to the party but, I think we should take a popular phrase with God in it and change it to Dog, like Dog bless you, or Dog bless America.
