Kevin Smith's A Couple Of Dicks Officially Gets A New Title image
Kevin Smith's Twitter feed is a reliable source of information about the guy's directing career, pet projects and interests, but also a lot of information you probably don't need, including graphic details about his sex life, bowel movements, and pretty much anything else you can imagine. It's pretty easy to get lost in the deluge of TMI, which is why it took me until today to notice that Smith had an announcement about his new film on Twitter last night.

Sadly, it's now official that the title A Couple of Dicks has gone by the wayside, thanks to skittish broadcast networks unwilling to run ads for a title that might--gasp!-- refer to genitalia. While Smith isn't saying what the title is, we'll know soon enough-- the trailer will run in front of Sherlock Holmes, which opens Christmas Day. Here's the full series of tweets, in chronological order:

(1/3) DICKS NEWS: The Movie Formerly Known as A COUPLE OF DICKS has finally settled on a (network-policy-dictated) replacement title! While

(2/3) 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:

(3/3) we can now advertise our movie properly (& ironically). And said marketing begins... on every print of SHERLOCK HOLMES, Christmas Day!


In answer reader questions, Smith also stated that Warner Bros. will announce the new title in a few days, and reiterated that the movie, whatever it's called, is "Not MY movie; a movie I was hired to direct." You'll remember that the movie formerly known as A Couple of Dicks stars Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan as a pair of cops, and somehow requires Morgan to run away from a dog while dressed as a cell phone. Sounds ridiculous and quite possibly awesome, no matter what it's called. Anyone want to start a guessing game on what the title actually is? I'm sure it's not A Couple of Cops, the ultra-lame replacement title initially suggested. Bust out your penis puns and show us your best!
