Hi Kamiku,
searching for a movie, if it's available, the original title will be
in the 'akas' key (a list of strings, if present).
As an example, see the output for ID 0270841 from the following script:
from imdb import IMDb
ia = IMDb()
for movie in ia.search_movie('matrix'):
print('id: %s; title: %s; akas: %s' % (movie.movieID,
movie.get('title'), ', '.join(movie.get('akas', []))))
OUTPUT:
id: 0133093; title: The Matrix; akas:
id: 0106062; title: Matrix; akas:
id: 5274778; title: Matrix; akas:
id: 0234215; title: The Matrix Reloaded; akas:
id: 0242653; title: The Matrix Revolutions; akas:
id: 0295432; title: The Matrix Revisited; akas:
id: 0270841; title: Cyber Wars; akas: Matrix Hunters: Kynigoi ston kyvernohoro
id: 1842414; title: Matrix IV; akas:
id: 9642498; title: The Matrix; akas:
id: 0328832; title: The Animatrix; akas:
id: 0277828; title: Enter the Matrix; akas:
id: 6301452; title: Matriarch; akas:
id: 0390244; title: The Matrix Online; akas:
id: 0364888; title: Threat Matrix; akas:
id: 0451118; title: The Matrix: Path of Neo; akas:
id: 9851526; title: The Matrix; akas:
id: 0211096; title: V-World Matrix; akas:
id: 1499960; title: The Living Matrix; akas:
id: 0274085; title: Sex and the Matrix; akas:
id: 8793748; title: Matrixx; akas:
Notice that there's no guarantee that the 'akas' key is present, and
no way to tell if it contains the original title or another very
popular title for the same movie.
Hope this helps,
