Take this with a grain of salt until it's officially confirmed, but Buffalo-based movie website The Film Stage did some poking around on the Warner Bros. exhibitor website (where information resides on movie releases and what trailers are attached to them) and found what could be the re-tooled title for Kevin Smith's next flick... COP OUT.

Here's what The Film Stage found. Look at the second entry for SHERLOCK HOLMES:

Trailer Placements: 12/25/09

* Sherlock Holmes: (ATT) Clash Of The Titans (TR1) / Inception (TR2) – COMBO RT 2:30 – New Trailers
* Sherlock Holmes: (ACC) Cop Out (TR1) New Trailer
* It’s Complicated: Valentine’s Day (TR3)
* Nine (Expansion): Valentine’s Day (TR3)
* Up In The Air (Expansion): Edge Of Darkness (TR1)
* The Road (Expansion): Edge of Darkness (TR1)


We'll no doubt find out in a few days if the above is accurate, though I wouldn't doubt it; COP OUT seems to be in line with what Smith said about finding an "ironic" solution to this whole retitling business.

The other little bit of news found in the above info from Warner Bros. seems to be that the second trailer for Christopher Nolan's INCEPTION will be attached to some prints of SHERLOCK HOLMES. As if you needed even more reason to see Robert Downey Jr. beat fools up in theaters.

Extra Tidbit: If this is indeed the new title, I think it's a clever compromise and a nice little elbow to WB's ribs. What do you guys think?

I find it odd that, even tho I'm looking forward to this flick, I find the news of a new Inception trailer a lot more exciting.

Also, Cop Out is good, I like it.

Thanks for clearing that up T DUBBS, I wish the article had mentioned it though it would have made a lot of sense.



In context, the new name is great!

I like the new title. Fitting for a number of ways.



And I'm already excited for Sherlock Holmes as it is. The 2nd Inception Trailer just makes it all more worthwhile.

should of called it...
C#nts & Rubbers, you think the studio (dick) heads would have green lit that name?



Shame they couldn't stick to the orginal title. Would have liked to gone to the cinema and asked to see a couple of dicks... hehe.

I was already looking forward to Sherlock Holmes, but even more so now because of the attached Inception TR2.

As long as it gets released soon
I don't care what it's called. Just don't push the date back again is all I'm asking.

The Inception trailer will probably be another teaser of sorts. The length seems to be 1 minute and 22 seconds:

Liking the title but am I the only one who's disappointed that there's no mention of an Iron Man 2 trailer/teaser as previously hinted at?

While the original title was better, this one's good. At least it's not nearly as unintentionally suggestive.

Did I miss something?
Reading between the lines I am assuming that he originally named it something else and they forced him to rename it? Is that the case? And what was the original title? You know a little background info wouldn't hurt ;) I try to read every article I can but obviously I have missed something here...

The original title was "A Couple of Dicks"(dick is supposedly a slang term for detective). Warner asked to have the name changed though for obvious reasons.
