^this image alone makes me wish Andy D got to Cormac's Counselor. He was trying to get Cities of the Plain going not long before, had hopes. Had hopes.

This movie's already bad ass.

Andrew Dominik's 'Cogan's Trade' Starring Brad Pitt Now Titled 'Killing Them Softly'
Source: Playlist

The past week or so has seen a handful of new movie titles get assigned to movie's. Joseph Gordon-Levitt's directorial debut is now known as "Don Jon's Addiction," David Chase's period based music movie is now called "Not Fade Away" and Kathryn Bigelow's Osama Bin Laden thriller fresh (working) title "Zero Dark Thirty." And those are all fine changes, nothing too shocking and keeping in line with what those films are about. But yet another movie has been given a new moniker, although we're less pleased about this one.

Variety writer Jeff Sneider has tweeted that Andrew Dominik's "Cogan's Trade" has been given a new, much more generic title of "Killing Them Softly." We suppose The Weinstein Company thinks that "killing" is much sexier marquee word than "trade" -- and they may be right -- but now the movie sounds like any generic, straight-to-DVD actioner. The original title had the sort of pulp sheen of the material (and was the name of the book it's based on) but now it just all sounds much more rote.

Anyway, the film is led by Brad Pitt and is a comic crime caper/thriller based on the George V. Higgins novel about a mob enforcer (Pitt) trying to track down a pair of junkies who've ripped off a poker game. A ridiculously great cast including Ray Liotta, Richard Jenkins, James Gandolfini, Scoot McNairy, Ben Mendelsohn, Bella Heathcote, Sam Shepard and Garrett Dillahunt are along for the ride, and frankly whatever this is called, we'll be watching anyway.

"Killing Them Softly" will hit theaters on September 21st.

"Killing Them Softly" makes it sound like a straight-to-video erotic thriller starring Michael Madsen and Mili Avital.

and Kathryn Bigelow's Osama Bin Laden thriller fresh (working) title "Zero Dark Thirty."

According to this trend, this will be the year of cryptic three-word titles.

Therefore I can confidently predict that the official title for The Master will be:
