Kevin Smith's 'Couple of Dicks' may get new title

Kevin Smith's next comedy is called "A Couple of Dicks," but according to the filmmaker, that title may change before the film opens in theaters Feb. 26, 2009.
At Comic-Con, Smith said some television networks refuse to air spots for the film before 9 p.m. The reason: the title, of course.
Smith already had trouble marketing his previous flick "Zack and Miri Make a Porno." In many ads, the film's title was changed to "Zack and Miri."
Apparently, nobody learned a valuable lesson here, and consequently, "Dicks" will likely be retitled. By the way, the networks with wet pants are ABC, NBC and CBS.
In the film, Bruce Willis plays a cop who, along with his partner (Tracy Morgan), encounters a mysterious gangster and rescues a Mexican chick during their investigation into the theft of a valuable baseball card.
