It became clear, almost from the get-go, that Kevin Smith's A COUPLE OF DICKS wasn't going to keep that title for very long. Warner Bros. did some research with media outlets and learned they were going to have a issue advertising the film with that title. Smith already went through similar issues with ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO and was likely eager to avoid that scenario as well. We've heard A COUPLE OF COPS thrown around as a possible (and lame) replacement and recently it was referred to as an UNTITLED COP MOVIE. Well now Kevin has announced they've got a name.

Sadly, he's not at liberty to say. Said Smith on Twitter:

The Movie Formerly Known as A COUPLE OF DICKS has finally settled on a (network-policy-dictated) replacement title! While we'll always have DICKS in our hearts, the title we just now locked makes me smile on a bunch of different levels - including this: we can now advertise our movie properly (& ironically). And said marketing begins... on every print of SHERLOCK HOLMES, Christmas Day!

So the good news is that we get a trailer in just a few weeks. And while Kevin wouldn't budge on the title ("That kinda thing's above my pay-grade"), he did add later that, "WB will announce in a day or two." Any suggestions?

Meet the Fockers was much more shocking to me at the time than A Couple of Dicks.

Since he said "ironically," it will probably be UNTITLED COP MOVIE.

Doesn't make any sense to me...
....every single episode of 3rd Rock from the Sun had "Dick" in the title, and that was on network TV.

What the shit?!
