Hot Tub Time Machine 2 Was Almost Meta

What else could Hot Tub Time Machine 2 have been named? It’s a sequel, right? Wouldn’t this be a no-brainer?

Our friends at Cinema Blend found out that a more self-referential/deprecating or meta-sounding title was originally how things might have gone. I’m sure you’re wondering by now what sort of title was struck down by Paramount for being potentially confusing to moviegoers. Well, here it is:

Hot Tub Time Machine 3.

Yes, skipping number two in the naming process would be rather meta, considering the film is about jumping around in time. What, you don’t find that hilarious at all? A time travel film that wanted to skip film number two…in the name of time travel? 

That’s a shame.
