"The Creeping Fear"

[Miasma]

So, Ain'tItCoolNews says the title of Ep3 will be "The Creeping Fear." I kind of like it... it's far more original than "Rise Of The Empire" and "Revenge of The Sith," and it keeps that cheesy serial tone from "Phantom Menace" and "Attack Of The Clones." Plus, it has a lot of meanings (Sidious could be considered a creeping fear, Anakin's downfall results from his creeping fears, etc.)

Any thoughts?

I sure hope not....

Sounds more like a low-key horror film....

[SQueek]

lame.

[Rocketboy]

I like it, but I doubt it'll be that.
Nobody predicted or broke the news of the titles The Phantom Menace or Attack of the Clones before they were announced by Lucasfilm.
It definatley won't be Rise/Dawn of the Empire of Fall of the Jedi or a similar title. Those names have been floating around since before the prequels began.

Yeah true... next thing you know, Lucas will make a movie called something stupid like "The Phantom Menace" or "Attack of The Clones"!!

Oh... wait a second...

[Sock-Man]

I hate it.

[Miasma]

So I'm the only one who kind of likes it? wow.

[spiderman_2k]

No, Rocketboy liked it too....So there is at least one other person...

[jbailey84]

Creeping Fear? sounds like a Metallica song

[Tornado]

I don't like it that much . . .

[LordofKings]

I dont like it. I don't care how simply or how long rise/dawn of empire or fall of jedi/republic have been around, something like that IMO should be the title...it just fits too much (and is also a fan fav and cool)

[eclipsedman]

Close, creeping death is a Metallica song from their first album.

Closer, but it's from "Ride The Lightening," which is their second studio album. (after "Kill 'em All", and not counting "No Life Til Leather"... I'm not sure where that fits in exactly.)

You got me there, I was think of "Kill 'em All"

[Alien]

I've heard better ideas.

yeah i know Creeping Death is a Metallica, i was just saying it sounds like a title that they would use. :D

but back on Star Wars, i dont like that Creeping Fear title. too corny. can you imagine seeing that in the trailer?

Star Wars Episode III: Creeping Fear

:confused: that'd be my reaction :confused:

Yeah, but wasn't that everybody's reaction to the last two as well?

I think that's why, to me at least, "The Creeping Fear" just works so well as a prequel title. That's not to say it's a brilliant title by any means, but it fits very well with the tone set by the other two. Well, time will tell if it's legit...

[jbailey84]

yeah true, but Creeping Fear just sounds sooo weird to me. oh well

[D-fence]

In the line of THE PHANTOM MENACE and ATTACK OF THE CLONES I think 'The Creeping Fear' is not that bad! Even TO 'adult' when you take the first two titles?

I expected something like 'The Dark Thunder ships' or 'Evil blackness'.

So 'the Creeping Fear' is growing on me already!

The Phantom Menace
Attack of the Clones
The Creeping Fear
A new Hope
The Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi


Yeah.. could work.

[Sock-Man]

^ What made you think it would be called 'The Dark Thunder Ships'?

I really hate this title at the moment. If they actually used it, it would probably grow on me, but I'm hoping they won't. No doubt it will be something along these lines though.

[Tornado]

I'm learning to not mind it, not neccessarily like it, but not mind it . . .

[LordofKings]

Its already growing on me too...its not as bad as i org thought

STAW WARS -- EPISODE 3: THE CREEPING FEAR

not too bad anymore...actually starting to like it, and atleast it is creative...

[Tornado]

It's a shame that it's the Creeping Fear, LOK . . . ;)

[XscreamXshoutX]

Thats a pretty kool title...I think it means the fear of the rise of the sith...

[Boro]

i think it sucks.

[LordofKings]

damn...well i edited it, i like it anyways

dont know where i got the growing fear from...

[Tornado]

Yeah I agree with you LOK, I still like the Creeping Fear . . .

I'm still a fan of "The Dawn of an Empire" . . .

[flukeman]

No no no no...

I like the "fear" part, but "creeping"? I don't like it. I actually think it's too much along the lines of "The Phantom Menace" - they pretty much mean the same thing....

[Rocketboy]

I don't also think that it'll Creeping Fear, because the Star Wars subtitles tend to have that cheesey old 50's movie type of name, and Creeping Fear doesn't exactly fit along those lines.

[true fan11212]

I don't love the title, but its okay(its a rumor for now, anyway). Of course, everyone else will overreact to it, calling it the worst title ever or the anti-christ, or something along those lines.

[Boro]

that guys right. we dont want the phantom menace part 2

[Miasma]

I agree that it IS a little too much like "The Phantom Menace." Actually, in that respect, "The Creeping Fear" could have worked as a title for Episode 1. So maybe it won't be the title after all... who knows?

Regarding your comment, Rocketboy-- I think "The Creeping Fear" does fit the mold very well. Maybe not a cheesy 50s movie, but certainly as a pulp serial comic. Couldn't you just picture walking into an old comic book store and seeing "The Phantom Menace," "Attack Of The Clones," and "The Creeping Fear" all lined up on a shelf together?

[Miasma]

Ah hah-- another interesting tidbit--

There was a movie called "The Creeping Flesh" starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. Coincidence??

[jbailey84]

Creeping Fear is now growing on me once i think about it. cause the Creeping Fear would be Darth Vader,right?

[LordofKings]

Star Wars -- Episode 3: The Creeping Fear

Im starting to like it. Its org...its something no one ever expected, and it has something to it that i like (at first i didn't like it)

BUT....but, i think the name looks better (on paper) then it actually sounds. When i say it i don't like it as much as when i read it...

[droidguy1119]

It sounds like...

"THE SCREAMING BRAIN!"

or

"GIANT SPIDER INVASION!"

I mean...really...

SEE! LUCAS COMPLETE HIS SAGA!
WATCH! THE INCREDIBLE EFFECTS BUDGET FLASH BEFORE YOUR EYES!
HEAR! THE INCREDIBLE THX SURROUND SOUND!

ITS...

THE CREEPING FEAR!

HAHA!!! Yes, it definitely has that sound to it.
I always picture it being written in dripping green letters for some reason.

[slinger]

Well it looks like I'll only refer to it as Episode III.

Variety headlines in 2005

"Creeping Fear Scares Away SW Fans"

or "Creeping Fear Scares Up $80Mil"

It might fit the movie so who knows but it's quite possibly the worst title I've ever heard for a big budget movie.

The Phantom Menace should've been The Sith Menace.

The Dark Path would be a better lame title.

[droidguy1119]

lol, wait a minute...they all sound kind of like that when you put it in the format, but nonetheless...

RUN! The advancing horror...!
ESCAPE! Endless swarms...!
SURVIVE! The harrowing experience...

..OF THE ATTACK OF THE CLONES!

[krazy_marco74]

IMO "The Creeping Fear" sounds too horror-ish. it doesnt sound star wars. i think none of us were even close to thinking the title was that, were we?

[Boro]

it still hasnt grown on me.

[superxero88]

Did anyone see the thing at TF.N?

In response to the title rumor story from AICN, Chuck emailed us about a connection to a 1973 film starring two of our favorite Star Wars baddies, Moff Tarkin and Count Dooku. The Creeping Flesh stars Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing as James and Emmanuel Hildern. Has George been watching old horror flicks again?
UPDATE - John Meins sent this in:

Just thought I’d let you know that a band called FiLo Radio release a new single, the Creeping Fear and are playing a gig next Thursday – April Fools day!!!! See link at BBC Online.
Looks like someone may have been playing a publicity scam on AICN.

If that's true, AICN is even more lame.

[LordofKings]

its seeming more like a scam too

[FVD]

Please do not let that be the title. That spells bomb bomb BOMB!!!

You may as well call it Rising Force with Yngwie Malmsteen as a Dark Jedi whacking people with his guitar. Oh Lord have mercy on me. Seeing that fat guy cracks me up no matter how talented he is.

Anyway The Creeping Fear is a no no for me.

FVD.

:alien: STAR WARS EPRISODE III : the Creeping Fear :alien:

Anakin is turning into a real pain in the Jedi-ass for our old friend Obi (ben) Wan Kenobi.
Together they fight CGI battle after badly animated CGI battle, in the conflict that is now universally know as 'THE GREAT CLONE WARS'.

In the mean time, Padme's ass is getting bigger by the minute, because she has that dork and that hot chick from those QUALITY star wars movies growing in her belly.
She will try to hide her Hutt-like fatness in this movie, by spending most of the screentime wearing ridiculous dresses that even out-do those in the first flick.

Speaking of ridiculous.. there is a new Droid General that has appeared out of nowhere with only one thing on his mind: Kill Jedi and sell as many little miniature action figures of himself as humanly possible.
He goes by the EVIL name of (big roll of thunder and lightning) GENERAL GRIVOUS (da Da DUM!)

We begin our story at the end of the great Clone Wars, in a space battle on the edge of the Corellia system.

Will Anakin turn 100% evil? Will Padme die after or during the birth of this 'New Hope' that everyone's talking about? Will Obi Wan and Yoda survive, and will Sam Windu bite the big one in a 'badass mother ****er' kind of way?
Well.. we kinda know all that already don’t we? the question is: HOW BAD IS THE DIALOG?

Lets find out together.....

[fineus fog]

its better than the phantom menace, does anyone know what the phantom menace actually is, and what /when do the clones attack- i would say they defend more than attack but defence of the clones is just crap

[Miasma]

Originally posted by fineus fog

"The Phantom Menace" is just another way of saying "The Unseen Threat", which could easily apply to Sidious/Palpatine. I suppose it could also less directly apply to Anakin (since he's not yet seen as a threat.) But according to Lucas' interview in Vanity Fair, it applies to Sidious/Palpatine. As Lucas said, it refers to the character who's "pulling the strings" behind the scenes.

As for "Attack of The Clones"-- yeah, that was dumb. The clones never attacked, they defended. "Clones To The Rescue!" would have been a more appropo title.

[The Moose]

personally, i think that this is a pretty bad title. i really don't like it

[Pointy Shrub]

sounds like a bad title, but really any title that eventually come from GL's mouth will suck anyway.

[Faithless Eye]

I think it works, it fits in with the other titles in the series. The whole thing is supposed to be a homage to 50's scifi serials anyway, which had similarly cheesy titles.

Cheese = good, in rare occasions.

Plus I want to be able to see a movie titled "The Creeping Fear". It would just be cool.

[Rocketboy]

Just becuase it says Attack in the title doesn't mean attacking the good guys.

why cant they just call it: Star Wars Episode III: 2005 THE YEAR King Kong wins all the oscars!!

I agree with this, the title is growing on me and I wouldn't mind having a good horror movie entitled "The Creeping Fear"

But they didn't really attack, as I remember. The droids were the ones on offense, and then the clones flew in as defense.

So maybe, "Attack of The Droids" would make more sense (hey, even C3PO started attacking the Jedi!)

Of course, this is a stupid argument over semantics, but hey, what else are these boards good for?

[jbailey84]

Yes, I totally agree with that.

The Creeping Fear is just so wrong for a SW title.

[Juxton]

I really think it doesn't matter what is rumored on the web as being the title, Lucas will simply change it if anyone guesses it. The Creeping Fear could actually be the title, but now that it's out there, it won't be.

It will be interesting to see what he comes up with at the last minute if this theory is true.

GL: "Well, I compiled a list of all titles that were circulating the internet and was able to come up with one that no one guessed. It was difficult considering nearly every possible title was used out there, but I think I came up with something pretty original. I give you 'Star Wars Episode III: Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers.'"

Oh crap, I just used up his last ditch effort at a title. Now it will end up being a random series of consonents or something.

I don't think it will be possible for me to be disappointed in whatever title he uses. It's not like the other 2 prequels had stellar titles.

[LordofKings]

I love The Phantom Menace as a title. I admit there's better, like Shroud of the Sith/Darkside, but The Phantom Menace is a great title in my opinion. It has a great sound to it, and it goes well with the Film. Lets face it, The Empire Strikes Back is not a great titler either, and A New Hope is very dull and simple. But i will admit Attack of the Clones was that great of a choice, but i remember hearing on the news when the title was announced that everyone was dissapointed with the title but they all admitted it had a good ring and sounded good (or something to this effect)

I think GL will pick a good to decent title for ep:3, even if it is The Creeping Fear, that title may not be great but it fits...

Then the Battledroids and Clonetroopers attacked each other.

yeah i understand, i'm a lotr fan too, but i really dont think that king kong will win all because peter jackson directing it but now there is really no telling, king kong just might. :)

[Cyberpunk]

The Creeping Fear sounds cool...

I like these ones myself..
- The Birth of the Empire
- Dark Side of the Force
- Children of the Force

Or something like that..
:)

[Andrey83]

I didnt like that title.....but i didnt like the title for ep2 either so...

[Tornado]

I still have to say that my favorite is "The Dawn of an Empire" . . .

[Juxton]

If they go with "Rise of" or "Dawn of", it should be "the" instead of "an". As far as we know in the movies, there's only one Empire, so to say "Dawn of AN Empire" sounds a bit weird. It's not just another empire, it's THE Empire.

I just noticed you always replaced "the" with "an". Any particular reason? Just curious.

[Boro]

i doubt king kong will win very many oscars. sure its peter jackson, but its a monster movie.

I know 'the' makes more sense, but I dunno, there's something about 'an' that sounds kind of cool. Just my opinion.

[Boro]

i think An sounds better then The

[Tornado]

I think that the above posts explain my reasoning for switching the words . . .

Just the coolness factor . . . ;)

[Juxton]

Okie-doke. To each his own :)

[Tornado]

Yep, exactly . . .

[Miasma]

I like "an" better than "the" too. Not sure why, I just think "Dawn Of An Empire" sounds cool, whereas "Dawn of The Empire" sounds too much like "Return of The Jedi" and "Attack of The Clones" (yeah, I know it's only one word different, but the overall effect is different. To me, at least.)

I think "Dark Awakening" could also work. It's different, yet makes sense in the context of the film.

Agree!!! But they can do better than The Creeping Fear. I also believe that there has to be "A" in front of the title, keep the tradition you know.

[Miasma]

It has been officially confirmed that Episode 3 will just be called "SW-3". Turns out Lucas is a huge fan of "T-2," so he wants to pay homage to it. Also, he has announced that the next Indiana Jones will be called "IJ-4"

I don't much like this idea. The Phantom Menace was a great title. It had that ring. I didn't like ''Attack of the Clones''.

Here is my idea for the Episode III title:

-Lost in Darkness

I love this.

If this is indeed the title of Episode III. Then all I can say is that this is without a doubt one of the worst titles you can ever give a movie. Well I guess it all fits. Bad titles for a bad trilogy of films.
