THE GIRL IN THE SPIDER'S WEB Gets a Stupid New Title

A couple of new posters have been released for the incredibly awesome-looking new film The Girl In The Spider’s Web and those posters reveal a new title for the film. The new title is actually pretty stupid. The new title is… The Girl In The Spider’s Web: A New Dragon Tattoo Story.

I guess the want to make sure the audience knows that this is connected to the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo franchise? I thought the trailers and other piece of marketing for the film did a fine job or already getting that point across, but I guess the marketing team thinks their audiences aren’t smart enough to figure it out.

The first thing that came to mind when I saw the title was that it seems like a riff on Lucasfilm’s A Star Wars Story. Now, is every move they make with this franchise going to get the A New Dragon Tattoo Story sub-title? I don’t know.

What I do know, though, is that the built in market for this film already know that this is a “Dragon Tattoo” story and it doesn’t really matter to anyone that doesn’t know!

Regardless of the title change, the movie looks great and I can’t wait to see it! In case you missed it, you can check out the latest trailer for the film below the posters.
