The title was planned to be more important than the current version, with the puzzle spelling out "MOVIE" and then the title can contribute to the theme to create the punny "BEE MOVIE". Unfortunately, V is not a silent letter in English in any common words I can find, let alone in a movie title!

A clue originally thought to make the puzzle too easy was removed. That was a row of eight boxes, three followed by five, to indicate the answer was two words of three and five letters, respectively. The removal of the clue was ultimately a bad decision, making the puzzle more difficult than intended.
