2 – Anhedonia = Annie Hall (A disorder marked by an inability to feel pleasure. It was decided that no one would know what the hell this was so the title was changed).
3 – Black Mask = Pulp Fiction (This was the working title, an homage to the 1920’s hardboiled detective magazine of the same name).
4 – Coma Guy = While You Were Sleeping (This was the title in the early development phase but, as the script took shape, it was decided the title didn’t do a good enough job of reflecting the light-hearted comedy).
5 – Story of Your Life = Arrival (The original title was an abbreviated version of the Ted Chiang short story upon which the movie is based, “Stories of Your Life and Others”.
