‘MANTLE’ – this name began with the idea of crossing over two words and ideas. As our film is going to be British and northern we always had the idea of involving the word ‘Manchester/Madchester’ thus the part ‘Man-‘. When we were generating title ideas we also had the suggestion ‘Metal’, therefore we combined the two to produce ‘MANTLE’. This word, we feel is very fitting because of the way it has been designed and it also has its own connotations.
For example, ‘Mantle’ sounds and looks like ‘Mental’ which is a characteristic of the stereotypical gangster. It also sounds identical to ‘Mantle’ as in the earth’s mantle, this could connote that situations will heat up and there will be fire explosions or fast, sweaty chase scenes.
