I think it just works both ways that if international distributors think that a direct translation of an idiomatic expression or a portmanteau title won't grab audiences (or will just be incomprehensible), they just go with the closest, savviest domestic approximation. Like, the original French title for Man Bites Dog translates more directly to It Happened in Your Neighborhood - Both give the distinct impression of a sensationalist news headlines or documentary topic with little journalistic substance, but, let's face it: In English, the title is a lot less 'punchy' and doesn't really get to the point. Even our respective linguistic approaches to pandering are completely different. edit: The Disney version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, of course, uses the more popular, "high concept" Western title of Victor Hugo's novel Notre Dame of Paris, but in Japan, the word for "hunchback" is considered extremely derogatory, so the title was changed to The Bells of Notre Dame. The interesting part is when you consider how just changing a few words in the title drastically changes the way in which spectators are 'primed' to read a film. K.

Also the Alien movies were given subtitles in Polish so we have: Alien: The 8th Passanger of "Nostromo" Alien: The Final Face-off Alien 3  Alien: Awakening

The best French retitling is Kentucky Fried Movie as Hamburger Film Sandwich, with Amazon Women on the Moon as Cheeseburger Film Sandwich.

Non-English/German fairy tales should seriously be a huge genre of their own in films. The Mediterraneans, Scandinavians, and especially Polish/Finnish have some incredibly hosed up stories that should be more well known.

Aphrodite posted:They didn't want to pay him to be in Independence Day 2. I imagine he's getting less per movie than he would have for Independence Day 2, but I'm sure they signed him to a multi-picture deal worth potentially a lot more. At first I was confused as to why he's want to be in a huge blockbuster with an ensemble cast, which kind of goes against his established "formula", but the potential is there down the line for huge pay days.
