She responded with an URL to an PJ interview: http://www.elbenwald.de/news/news_detail.php3?news_id=209 It is an german translation of an Chicago Sun-Times interview (no link given), so I translate the important part back into english: -------- Despite the film only coming into Theatres next Christmas, the director PJ has a few doubts about the title, in respect to the events from 11.
