Working title

Working title

A working title, sometimes called a production title, is the temporary name of a product or project used during its development, usually a film, novel, video game, or music album. Working titles are used primarily for two reasons; the first being that an official title has not yet been decided upon, the second being to intentionally disguise the production of a project.

Examples of the former include the film "Die Hard with a Vengeance", which was produced under the title "Die Hard: New York", "Snakes on a Plane", shot under the title "Pacific Air Flight 121", and the James Bond films, which are commonly produced under titles such as "Bond 22" until an official title is decided upon. Examples of the latter include "", which was produced under the title "Blue Harvest", 2009's "Star Trek" which was produced under the title "Corporate Headquarters", and the Batman films "Batman Returns", "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight", which were produced under the titles "Dictel", "The Intimidation Game" and "Rory's First Kiss", respectively.

In some cases a working title may ultimately be used as the official title, as in the case of the film "Cloverfield" and video games "Quake II" and "Spore."
