Studio Asked to Change Film's Lame Name

The Greater Los Angeles Area office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations has asked Warner Brothers and Warner Independent Pictures to change the title of their upcoming release Towelhead.

The trailer for the film can be found here.

It’s not exactly a movie about race relations. It’s secondary at best. It’s about a 13 year old girl, who happens to be of a race. So, FBLA caught up with Hussam Ayloush, Executive Director of CAIR in LA and asked him why he thinks the studio chose to use that title in this market.

“The film title is based on a book with the same title.”
