Riddick Three In The Works

David Twohy, writer and director of first two Riddick movies and Vin Diesel are reteaming for a third Riddick picture.

Rapunzel Now Tangled

Walt Disney Animation Studio’s renamed their 2010 release Rapunzel to Tangled. I’m glad to see that they are going for a new name.  The waters are getting too muddied with multiple movies out with the same name and little else in common.

I think if your going to do a fresh smart take on a story why not give it a new name and allow it to stand on it’s own.  This is a nice change and I hope a new pattern in movie naming convention
