Saw a promo on SciFi/SyFy that they're once again doing one of their "Name this movie" contests.
Those familiar with the network know they did this at least once before with some giant squid movie, and SyFy in general has a habit on renaming movies when they air them. George and the Dragon became Dragonsword. Ring of the Neuburlings (I know I spelled it wrong) became Dark Kingdom. To be fair, it's possible a US distributor insisted on the changes, but it's always seemed like a SyFy thing.
But their dislike of good titles provides a chance to win stuff!
For the next month or so, you can submit titles (up to 10 per person) for a movie they describe on the page. In brief, knight returning from Crusades with relic, relic is cursed, demon attacks, knight and unlikely allies must save the world, etc.
If you go to IMDB for the lead actor, you see he did a movie for release in 2010 called "Crusades." That is likely the International title and SyFy needs a different one when they air it as one of their SyFy originals.
Anyhow, I did my 10 titles. Not going to post them simply because SyFy owns your submissions and if someone ended up using one of them, SyFy could sue, I guess.
The prize, as noted, is a computer, a camera, and movie editing software. Also you get a credit/mention on the website and when it airs. The equipment's valued at $4,500. Pretty nice, I'd say.
If you enter and win, be sure to thank me.
(Forgot about this board and posted at Sci-fi/Fantasy board, but apparently a hovering admin got it immediately as I was posting my reply to acknowledge wrong board, being unable to edit the post. Pesky admins are so much faster than back in the day.)
