There’s been much controversy over the Kevin Smith directed Bruce Willis/Tracy Morgan buddy cop film.

Originally titled A Couple of Dicks, Warner Bros gave in at the final hour to promotional and advertising whims and decided a change of title would be necessary to avoid the same issues Smith saw with Zach & Miri Make A Porno.

A shame, as this was getting a lot of press, as being the first film directed by Kevin Smith not written by him (described as a “step up” for him, he said you’d barely recognize it as one of his films), and the sorta dream pairing of Willis and Morgan.

Today the first trailer went online, featuring the films new title - Cop Out - and while it doesn’t look like a Smith film…it doesn’t look all that exciting, either.  I’m guessing (hoping?) there’s a really awesome red-band trailer in the wings for the flick, but unfortunately, the only excitement I derived from the trailer was that Smith was working with Seann William Scott again.

Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe it’ll be awesome. We’ll see when Cop Out hits theaters on February 26th.
