A few weeks ago we reported on the understandable nervousness surrounding the release of 20th Century Fox’s Neighbourhood Watch. Following the killing of Trayvon Martin by a neighbourhood watch operative in Florida, the studio pulled all trailers from that state. The studio has now been announced that the title is being changed to simply The Watch

A Fox spokesperson commented: “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.” Sounds reasonable enough.
