John Hillcoat certainly has our attention with his next effort behind the camera, an adaptation of Matt Bondurant’s “The Wettest County In The World,” which had already been shortened to “The Wettest County” for the film. However, it looks like that won’t be sticking much longer either, with author Bondurant tweeting that fans should “get ready to change hash tag [#wettestcounty] - title change in works.” We guess it makes sense. While the phrase “wettest county” fits in perfectly with the Prohibition tale (it refers to an area flush with liquor) we guess the Weinsteins are considering the average moviegoer might not know that offhand. And, if they’re releasing the film on the back of Tom Hardy’s rise to fame and “The Dark Knight Rises,” they might think they’re better off with a more accessible title.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m05v29fBnk1qde7iyo1_1280.jpg)
