The Coup, the action thriller starring Owen Wilson, pictured in Wedding Crashers, Lake Bell and Pierce Brosnan, is getting a title switch and a date change, says THR.
The movie is now called No Escape, and its release date has been moved from March 6 to September 2, 2015.
“The story centers on an American businessman (Wilson) as he and his family settle into their new home in Southeast Asia. Suddenly finding themselves in the middle of a violent political uprising (i.e., a coup), they must frantically look for a safe escape as rebels mercilessly attack the city.”
The site explains that one reason for the title change is that the name tested poorly with audiences, who didn’t know what the heck a “coup” was.
Devil, The Poughkeepsie Tapes and As Above/So Below‘s John Erick Dowdle directed the movie and co-wrote it with his brother, Drew Dowdle.
