Your Stage : Title suggestions by Kyle Haines

Title suggestions

I need help coming up with a new title. This new script is about, and I'm not joking, a woman who's down on her luck and the only way she can get money, is by becoming a porn star. When her agent starts abusing and taking money from Her, she calls on the help of an arms dealer to help her take care of business. Right now it's called "Leather Couches And Hardwood Floors"

Kyle Haines

This is a new one! Lol!

Anthony Cawood

Sounds a little similar to what happened to Lovelace and we've had a recent film based on her experience, so if this is meant to be a drama I'd consider making it a comedy to differentiate it. As for titles... I'm with Sam, not a worry right now, but consider a play on words as the Porn industry has been doing for years, e.g. Edward Penishands... that approach definitely works better for comedy ;-)

Kyle Haines

It's interns to be satirical

Kyle Haines

Intended*

Gameela Wright

Though I like the title, it doesn't (at least for me) connect enough to the story line. So I can see why you're looking for suggestions for a new title. What is the main character's name? That might help for us to come brainstorm some ideas for you.

Pierre Langenegger

And You Think Your Job Blows?

Kyle Haines

I've changed it to "Violet", which is the main characters stage name and the log line: "in this business, everyone gets wet"

Anthony Cawood

Defloration of Violet, Purple Passion, Behind the Violet Door...

Geoff Webb

The best movie titles give you a clue of what the movie is about, it's obvious what '12 years a slave' is about or 'Gravity'. Keep working on the title right through the process.

Mike Norman

Porn star joining forces with an arms dealer......"The Right to Bare Arms"

Gameela Wright

Mike, that is friggin' BRILLIANT!

Kyle Haines

I've written some more of the film. I think "Violet" works, but I got a great idea from Anthony. Those other titles you listed could work as some of the porn movies she stars in. I'm not joking when I say this, this movie is just plain odd, but those titles work, and I love you for that! Also a bit odd, I would love some more "Violet" themed porn titles. And Mike....that is brilliant.

Tony Cella

Sex and Violets

LindaAnn Loschiavo

Kyle: Google your titles, ex: "Violet." Will a potential investor or distributor be able to find "Violet" in Google? What about "Hardwood Floors" -- would it lead me to your film? Hmm?

Scott Bernstein

'Wilting Vengeance' (do you have a script consultant)

Ivan Alexei Dominguez

"Violet Femme"

Stevan Šerban

Hook Her Out, or Deep Sheet

Tony Cella

Deep Sheet is good.

Rich Lane

The Hard Life, Stolen, The Knocks, maybe even Hard Knocks... just some thoughts.

Mike Norman

Simple, one word title that explains it all.....Screwed

Anthony Cawood

Taken 4 - From Behind

Shane McKenzie

Money Shot

William Martell

Money Shot is already the title of a well known novel that takes place in the porn world.

LindaAnn Loschiavo

"Mistress of the Mattress"

Virginia Shine

It's a hard knock life

Jeff Brotherton

The Oral Avenger

Myron Edwards

You should try some porn novel sites see what they offer you as a book rather than screenplay porn is a very difficult genre to write well, but a woman can be successful look at Virgin books for example they have a woman's section dedicated to erotica -

Louella M Reynolds

Equalizer

Stevan Šerban

Are you kidding me, Loulella?

Stevan Šerban

CHIPPY

Stevan Šerban

CHIPPY is the best title!!!!

Louella M Reynolds

Well, Stevan - the 'arms dealer' is Violet's Equalizer - and the Porn job is Violet's life equalizer. Just trying to put a different spin on things.... sometimes the spinning works - and sometimes it doesn't....

Stevan Šerban

The Equalizer, with Danzel Washington, last September.

Mark Burger

"Arms and Legs"...Opening Wide at a Theatre Near You !

Shawn Speake

LOL! That's funny Mark! What a pitch!

Myron Edwards

It sounds like an ad for a 'hard wear' store no pun intended

Mark Burger

Thanks Speake. Also might consider "Missile Mama", "Violet's Bed of Bullets", "Pocket Rocket", "Gunpowder Milkshake", "Babes and Bazookas" or the obvious, "Money Shot" .

Ross Ostroff

The Naked Gun ;)

Yasmin Neal

Hmm I like the title "HARDWOOD" or "HARDWOOD FLOORS"

Dude, HARDWOOD is the only title you need. I'm not joking.

Stevan Šerban

Vladimir Skomarovsky

"Sorry, I'm Hooker."

Marianne Edwards

Will Machin

Going Down for Luck

Rich Lane

Hey Will I think if you drop "for luck" off the title and just call it "Going Down" it would work on two levels and sounds like it could be a great fit.

Catherine Eveleth

In the Arms Dealers Arms.

Ross Ostroff

Money Shot
