this story<\/a> on IMDB, wherein an attorney representing an upcoming revival of Camelot<\/i> has asked Idle to change the Spamalot<\/i> name for fear “the theatre-going public will be confused by the similarity of the titles””!
Idle has rightfully called the situation idiotic. But then again, I don’t know. I’m beginning to fear people really are<\/i> that stupid. Maybe it indeed might be best if Disney renamed The Lion King<\/i> so it is not confused as a musical version of Stephen King’s The Shining<\/i>, since those two titles share a few letters as do Spamalot<\/i> and Camelot<\/i>. By the same token, The Producers<\/i> should be renamed in case people mistake it for the third “Dirty Harry” movie.

I’m withholding my judgment on this until I hear more about it. But it’s hard not to say something about this story<\/a> on IMDB, wherein an attorney representing an upcoming revival of Camelot<\/i> has asked Idle to change the Spamalot<\/i> name for fear “the theatre-going public will be confused by the similarity of the titles””!
