EXCITEMENT is boiling online with the possibility of a cinema in Cranbourne.
But the novel idea, which would see the community choose the name of the planned four theatre complex, has had ideas rolling into The News.
In a letter to the editor Di Loft of Tooradin said: “‘Crannywood’, a play on Hollywood and ‘Meteor’, in recognition of the meteorites originally discovered in the locality.”
On Facebook, Cranbourne resident Deborah Flint-Dubois suggested, ‘Flicks Cinema Cranbourne’.
Syd Edwards and Monika Bradford said: “Cranbourne Entertainment Centre or Cranbourne Entertainment Complex.”
And Beverley Dawes doesn’t really care.
“As long as we get a cinema in Cranbourne, don’t care what they call it, just so long as we get good movies,” she said.
Other name suggestions include: The Cranbourne Movie House, Cranmax, The CranBourne Identity, Cranflix, C-inn Cinemas (short for The Cranbourne Inn), Flick Stop and The Movie Stables.
To keep in with the building’s history some suggestions have included swimming pool puns, including The Dive, Splash Theatre House and Deep End Cinemas (a play on London’s West End).
If you have a name suggestion for the Grant Street cinema and bar complex, email it to dailyeditor@starnewsgroup.com.au.
