Woody Allen, Please, No
On a small town college campus, a philosophy professor in existential crisis gives his life new purpose when he enters into a relationship with his student.
That is the description of Woody Allen’s currently untitled 2015 movie. It is in post-production and stars Emma Stone, Joaquin Phoenix, Jamie Blackley, and Parker Posey. More information here and here.

Possible titles:
“Professors and Students”
“Everyone Says I Love You, But What Do They Know About Semantics?”
“Any Hall”
“A Mid-Semester Night’s Sex Tragedy”
“Sweet and Down Low”
“Hannah and Her Sister’s Professor”
and, of course,
“Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex (But Were Afraid To Ask) 2”
Ugh. I’d rather see a “God is Not Dead” sequel than this.
“God is STILL Not Dead”
“God is Not Dead 2: God Lives!”
Woody Allen’s film catalogue is a good argument for eleatic monism.
“I should have stopped making films after Sleeper”
I was at a holiday dinner party for a department in another discipline the other week, and although I don’t quite remember the context, the department chair at one point wryly remarked, “In the olden days, faculty used to date graduate students.” I could only laugh inside, and immediately feel like many philosophers don’t know just how *far* behind the curve we are on this compared to other disciplines, given how common faculty-graduate students relationships still seem in philosophy and how many discussions on the philosophy blogosphere have defended the practice.
“You Will Meet a Tall Dark Two-Dimensionalist”
“Love and Death (of your career as an academic)”
“Blue JasMcGinn”

“The Genius Project”
What’s wrong with two rational adults entering into a consensual relationship?
Nothing; the problem is that recent events have shown that rational adults are thin on the ground in academia.
Rational adults are thin on the ground in Woody Allen movies, too, so it may be a good fit. (I happen to love Woody Allen movies, in general, so that’s not a complaint)
Update to this: The trailer has now been released for “Irrational Man” http://gothamist.com/2015/04/29/woody_allen_irrational_man.php
