reply

Sleeping Dogs Lie.

they had to change it after the festival sercuit to get it into theaters



.everyone is uncomfortable now.

It was changed to avoid confusion with Marc Forster's 'Stay'.

It's an automatic bad omen for a movie when the director can't even decide on an original title :(

***So I've seen 4 movies/wk in theatre for a 1/4 century, call me crazy?**

A lot of times it's not the director.. The writer will title the film.. Then, the director may decide to change it before it goes to festival or something.. But usually, if there's a change after the film is sold, it's because the production company feels that it would do better with another title.
