I need help in creating a title for a film I am making.

The story revolves around how a guy (Marcus) sells his soul to a dude (Ed) in a poker game, and then weird crap keeps happening to Marcus, mainly of a supernatural nature. Ed meanwhile is building up a collection of souls to sell to the rich and famous. Marcus and friends decide to take down this soul seller once and for all. Has a subplot revolving around the God and Satan. Will Marcus regain his soul or will Ed become more powerful than Satan himself?

The genre is a drama/comedy dealing with the supernatural. Since the Escapist is renowned for being a hive of intellectual and creative energy, I thought you could make a better title than my plebian brain ever could.

Well the current trend of film titles is to go for something quick, punchy and straight to the point.
"I Lost My Soul In A Game Of Poker" isn't a modern title name.
True something like "Dead Man's Hand" or "The Gamble" Something associated with both Poker and death/souls/evil shit etc. Nice concept let us know how it goes.

Somehow this seems oddly familiar...

On a related note, how about "High Stakes" "When there's more then just your life on the table..." ?

"Soul Trader"

As in Sole Trader, get it?

"Soul Debt". "Unholy Debt" or something along those lines.

Why not add a Troll and call it "Troll 4"?

What was the name of that movie that had Δ in the title? I never saw it, but only remember it because I could just imagine all the cinemas and newspapers pulling their hair out over how to write it out.

I believe it was WÄZ, but although it may be funny to screw over cinemas, I dont want just to throw gratuitous Greek letters in there.

There's a world of difference between selling souls in poker and selling lives! GOD! :p But seriously I've never seen Supernatural and it doesnt really seem too similar to what I'm planning to do.
