In a bizarrely worded press release, Fox Studios announced they'll be changing the name of the Georgia-lensed comedy starring Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade, from Neighborhood Watch to The Watch.
Driving the change? Controversy surrounding the shooting of Treyvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager, by a neighborhood watch captain.
“As the subject matter of this alien invasion comedy bears no relation whatsoever to the recent tragic events in Florida, the studio altered the title to avoid any accidental or unintended misimpression that it might,” the studio said in a statement.
The studio issued no comment on rumors that on The Watch posters they'll also be photoshopping Ben Stiller so that he doesn't look like Vince Vaughn's teenage son.
