Smokin' Joe Carnahan: AND THE WINNER IS...ME!

AND THE WINNER IS...ME!

Kids:

After much debate, the Nigerians and I have come to the following
conclusion. As much as we liked both Lee Seymour and David Reynolds
suggestions of 'Smokin Aces: Battle Royal' we have instead chosen
after the hundreds of entries we received to go with the following:

'SMOKIN' ACES: BLOWBACK'

Which was christened by yours truly! HA! Think of all those swag dollars
we saved! Universal has signed off enthusiastically so we're off to the races.
We still want to hook Lee and David up with some parting gifts, so if they
respond to this post in the comments section and leave some mailing info,
we'll do just that.

My thanks to everyone who participated. I'm glad we got to do it. I wish we would've
found our winner in all those entries and despite some of them being great,
they just didn't encapsulate the film like we feel the current title does.

Cheers,

Comments

HA! Great!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!! I LAUGHED AND APPLAUDED WHEN I saw that the entry was ultimately chosen by JC. Too good.

Also, what's all this I hear about Bale and Bardem on KP?!?!?!?! No post about it first?!?!?!!?

Alright, now that it's all done, and JC is our winner of fabulous prizes, tell them Nigerians to get to woyk! I wanna see some footage from the prequel!

Blowback is a term now broadly used in espionage to describe the unintended consequences of covert operations. Blowback typically appears random and without cause, because the public is unaware of the secret operations that provoked it.

Very cool.

Explains a lot.

PS Enough with the title business...who has been cast or approached for this project?

"Blowback". I'm sure it'll make more sense to me once a plot synopsis is served. Now that a title is decided, we can finally get to the meat & potatoes of the project. I can't wait to hear more.

I love it. Wish I'd have thought of it! :O)

This is the boss's choice so it's the best one I guess :)

I would never have found it because blowback is a complete new word to me (quick sight to Doubler) :P

Kevin, thanks for the explaination about the meaning 'blowback' can have, the title may actually deliver more about the script than we may think then.

Very good! ^^^
