[edit] Film title

The Hollywood Reporter calls the film Repossession Mambo, while Variety calls the film The Repossession Mambo. I've redirected The Repossession Mambo to Repossession Mambo for the time being, but if there is an attributable source that can clarify of the film's title is with or without "The", then a move can be made. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 17:18, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

The title of the movie is "The Repossession Mambo", and the attributable source is, well, me, Eric Garcia, the co-writer of the script and writer of the novel it's based on. I don't know if I'm breaking wiki protocol here, but rest assured there's a 'The' in the title. The Hollywood Reporter also got the plot a bit wrong; the Variety article is much more accurate, for what it's worth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.82.205.26 (talk • contribs) 0:07, June 18, 2007

Ah, I wish I could believe you, but it's not within standards to take your word as verifiable. For example, the book The City of Ember will have a film adaptation simply called City of Ember. I will keep my eye out for further title mention and move it at the soonest opportunity. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 00:38, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I know it's not verifiable, but the production vehicles parked in our condo complex last night where filming was taking place were clearly labelled as "The Repossession Mambo." Ben W Bell talk 14:41, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I'll assume good faith and move the article to The Repossession Mambo -- it's not a huge deal, though it's frustrating to see that citations like this still lack "The" in the title. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 17:24, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I must say though I see little other sources for it having a The in it to be honest. Ben W Bell talk 19:13, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Should I remove the request, then, until it can be truly verified? —Erik (talk • contrib) - 19:15, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I would. Next time I see them filming around here I'll try and take a picture of the filming notice, that should be sufficiently verifiable then I'd think. Ben W Bell talk 19:16, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

It may also be possible that the title will be changed during production -- this happened with The Seeker (film) and Hancock (film). Likewise, I'll keep an eye out for any information about the title. Somehow, I doubt there'd be much since it's a simple "The". —Erik (talk • contrib) - 19:32, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Yeah well that happens quite often. I think they should change it, but that's just my opinion. Ben W Bell talk 22:03, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
