What's in a name?

Pop quiz people! 

What is the most common question we have been asked so far throughout our development and prep?

A) "Is it really a true story?"

B) "Why is it called All Men's Dead?"

C) "How are you going to make the bo... I mean, how are you going to make Pedro?"

Actually they are all common questions we have been asked - but the most common is A - closely followed by B - why is it called what its called?

Well it's called All Men's Dead because of to something the American Poet Archibald MacLeish once said about broadcaster Edward R Murrow when talking about his WW2 news broadcasting.

"You made real and urgent and present to the men and women of those comfortable rooms, those safe enclosures, what the men and women had not known was present there or real. You burned the city of London in our houses and we felt the flames that burnt it. You laid the dead of London at our doors and we knew the dead were our dead – were all men’s dead – were all mankind’s dead – and ours.”

The importance of the work of all news broadcasters during the war was a huge inspiration to our writer Krysty - which is why we decided to use the name. That said - it is a working title and so it is very likely to change before we complete the film. The only thing is that we can't change the name halfway through production - because it will confuse people something rotten - so for now, it's All Men's Dead.
