I would hope the marketing could make it obvious who its about and also that its worth an audiences time. The title sometimes just seems lazy. Give me 'Walk the Line' over 'Ray' any day.

Most people probably won;t even realize that this is a biopic if their name is not attached. I think it's important someone's name should be attached if you're making a movie about them! GANDHI, CHE, MALCOLM X, IRIS, anyone? i disagree. Most people probably won;t even realize that this is a biopic if their name is not attached.

If its a biopic, it ought to be titled at least in a semi-readable title. Invictus sounds like a bad watch brand (no disrespect to Invicta brand per se). All that money spent on a movie and this sort of title? Studios might want to start test-titling movies too.
