Pick a new Title for TRAPPED

**DjfunkmasterG** · 12-Nov-2007

While spending the whole weekend filming the thought of changing the films title has once again has crossed my mind. So I am going to put a list of titles up for a vote and let you, the members of homepage of the dead choose the title of my newest Living Dead film.

If you don't like the choice type in a name in reply, if I dig it I will give you a special thanks in the credits.

I am leaning towards: ASCENSION of the LIVING DEAD

if we go with DOMINATION of the LIVING DEAD...

The Movies title would start slowing fading in just saying "NATION of the LIVING" When it comes in to full view it would say "DOMINATION of the LIVING DEAD"
the Tagline would then be... "a Nation of the Living... DOMINATED by the DEAD"

Trapped is an awesome title already man, leave it be in my opinion.

I say keep it as "Trapped".

The "of the Living Dead" angle seems a bit...I duno...perhaps a tad obvious? I'm not sure.

I like the tagline idea for Domination, but again I'm not sure, Domination to me would suggest a massive ruck, like huge scale goings on...like "300", but with zombies.

Also there is an indie zombie flick already called "Siege of the Dead", so...

And "Rise of the Living Dead", to me at least, sounds close to "Return of the Living Dead"...

Maybe I'm being picky, I duno, but I think "Trapped" is the most suitable.

Or maybe riff on "Trapped" with a zombie inflection, like...

"Trapped By The Dead" (or maybe "Trapped With The (Un)Dead")

*points to MZ* What he said.

Also, the "of the Living Dead" thing is also done...a lot.

The other words like "Rise" and "Ascension" and "Domination" all suggest something huge, whereas I think "Trapped" (or indeed my riff on it, or even "Trapped By Death"...something like that) suits what will be on screen better methinks.

Ok Gentlemen,

I see your POV, however, UNTITLED ZOMBIE PROJECT is not finished filming yet and you are only seeing one side of the equation. Wait until I do the 5 days worth of insert shots that need to be done and if I get the $$$$ my second cop ambush sequence.

I will let you three see the film before anyone else then tell me one of my newer suggested titles doesn't fit better.

The title and story may look small, but the scope of UNTITLED ZOMBIE PROJECT, is far from it.

Remember I see things in a very EPIC way.

UNTITLED ZOMBIE PROJECT?! :finger:

It revolves mostly around what? People "trapped" in a theater!

Or, we could always take Dave Cooperman's suggestion and call it "Matinee Buffet"

KEEP IT TRAPPED, DAMMIT!

True enough Dj, wise words indeed. From what I personally know of the film at least, "Trapped" makes most sense.

I guess it has to be what is best for the bulk of the content on screen, and what the title immediately might suggest to people, the last thing you'd want is a title that sells the film differently than it is...whether we like it or not, I guess there are 'book cover deciders' out there...

Hmmm...

Well I certainly look forward to seeing "Untitled Zombie Project" anyway!

dude, just keep it as trapped as any film with "living dead" in the title in the last 20 years hasnt exactly been well recieved, plus like lou says, its about people trapped, it does what it says on the tin and you get more props for makeing a zombie film that doesnt have dead in the title.

*points at hellsing* What he said, too.

Definitely leave it named Trapped....

i notice youve voted yourself for domination of the dead. my view on that is:

1- "of the dead" may make people think your trying to associate the film with romero and have it ride on that.

2- shouldnt it be domniation BY the dead, domination OF the dead means someone else is dominating the zombies..... which brings up images in my head i never wanted to see.
