Ever change the movie title after you filmed the movie?

[Conroy Films]

My film is called " The Lucky Ones". Thinking of changing it for different reasons. Oliver Twist remake based in 21st century.

a. the zac efron's movie has the same title. It might confuse peoples judgement.
b. it's an Oliver Twist remake for the 21st century~thinking of changing it to "Oliver Twisted".
c. artsy title~ "A Lucky Twist of Fate"
d. one word~ "Twist"

Opinions. Thanks. This was the first trailer before cleanup.

C-ish - A Lucky Twist

Fwiw, I've changed the title of every short, usually towards the end of the edit.

after our private screenings we're gonna have the audience vote, also.

I wrote a screenplay for a friend in the late 95 and he renamed
it "Oliver Twisted". I can't even remember what it was called
when I wrote it.

Even if you don't change it, the distributor might. (This would be a nice problem to have though.)

I'm a huge fan of one word titles. I have no idea why. I love "Twist"

I wouldn't count on the title alone to carry much weight.
Might as well make it Oliver's Odyssey. http://www.imdb.com/find?q=Oliver's+Odyssey&s=all
Or Odyssey of Oliver. http://www.imdb.com/find?q=Odyssey+of+Oliver&s=all

If you're not completely sold on your title, I think you absolutely must change it. FWIW, I'm also not completely sold on the title of my next feature, and I absolutely plan on changing it.

Haven't seen your movie, so I don't know if it fits, but I like Dennis' suggestion -- "Twist".

Always make sure you have a different title to any films that have gone before, or, as you say, this can be very confusing.

This is why racing horses always have colourful names, because no two horses that compete can ever have the same name. Should be applied to films really.

The demo for Dream Theater's 'Pull Me Under' was called 'Oliver's Twist.' Have you thought about "Oliver Twisted (skg)?"

VERY common for multiple films to have the same name, just don't want it to be too recent.. 109 was originally called 9, but there had been a film 9 within the past few years so I changed it.
