| | Posted: | | | | Doing an audit for Nightwatch (1997) (717951000743) which is a remake of the Danish thriller "Nattevagten" Is it allowed to use the Danish "Nattevagten" in the original title field? | | | "What's God?"

| | Posted: | | | | I'm afraid not. Just to make a quick comparison: 'Never Say Never Again' is a remake of 'Thunderball' - and I don't think anybody would get away with using the later as the original title on NSNA... Anyway, the rules on original titles simply says: "Use the title from the film's credits." So if 'Nattevagten' isn't the title as seen in the credits, then it can't be used (not for contribution purposes at least). |

| | Posted: | | | | i don't think so. The writers of the Original Danish movie may get a writers credit (or OMB) based on the credits. If not than no to that either. (of course locally you can do both if you wish) Paul T!m must be quicker typer than i am  | | | | Last edited: by paulb_99 |
