Name this movie and win $1,000!

'The Untitled Niki Caro Project' is in desperate need of a name, and coming up with the right one could win you a whole heap of dollars.

Mar 21 2005

In an unusual move, Warner Brothers are inviting members of the public to suggest titles for a new film currently in production.

At present the picture is called 'The Untitled Niki Caro Project', after the film's director Niki 'Whale Rider' Caro.

However, having been unable to come up with a proper title, the company is offering $1,000 to whoever suggests a suitable replacement.

The film stars Charlize Theron, Woody Harrelson, Sean Bean, Sissy Spacek and Frances McDormand, and the synopsis goes something like this:

'A struggling mother, who endures repeated sexual harassment at the mine where she works, sues the mining company and inspires other women to join her in a class action suit which sets an important precedent.'

To enter, simply click here, although unfortunately the contest is only open to legal residents of the United States.

Would-be title writers need to get scribbling quick-smart however, as the closing date for the competition is this Thursday (March 24).
