Apparently director David Ellis' victory with the Snakes on a Plane title just wasn't enough. Now the director has hit the internet with a campaign to title his upcoming 3-D shark thriller...Untitled 3-D Shark Thriller. As the director tells it, "The title says everything you need to know: 'We've got sharks.' 'It's in 3D.' and, 'It's a thriller.'" Fair enough! In honor of what will surely become a hot Hollywood trend, let's see how some other upcoming movies fare with literal, reductive titles.
As always, feel free to chime in with your own submissions.
