Thread: Snakes on a Plane

A major motion picture, coming to a theater near you, summer 2006:

"Snakes on a Plane," starring Samuel L. Jackson (not the real movie poster, but probably better than the real one will turn out to be):



Plot synopsis: "On board a flight over the Pacific Ocean, an assassin, bent on killing a passenger who's a witness in protective custody, let loose a crate full of deadly snakes."

It's real. Do a google search.

(That poster is fake. The movie and asinine plot are very, very real.)

Teaser trailer now viewable here:

Holy shit, everyone's worst nightmare! Why stop there? They should have put some spiders and anthrax and David Bowie in too.

I don't know man, that's a pretty sweet title for a movie.

Hoping to cash in on “Snakes on a Plane” hysteria through the year, New Line is also producing “Sabre Tooth Tigers on a Plane” for release in October and, in a bid to capture a family holiday audience, “Penguins on a Plane” for December release.

I predict all 3 movies will be better than Mission Impossible 3... although I will never know because I have boycotted every Tom Cruise movie.

It will be the summer's biggest hit.

"Motherfucking snakes on a motherfucking plane!"

Tough to top that!

i believe at one time, the studio asked how they could make the movie longer. he replied, "more snakes".

hahaahahahaha

The really great thing will be if this movie actually does well... and they make a sequel.

"Snakes on a Train" anyone?

i was laughing so hard out loud when u read all this...can't you just see SLJ, on that mike in the poster, going ballistic...."SOS Motherfuckers....we got SNAKES ON THIS MOTHERFUCKING PLANE!!!!!!!"

Seriously, though, is this a "working title" or the real title of the movie? Its so stupid its actually brillant - they should keep it.

I heard the studio wanted to change the name to "Flight xx", but they decided "Snakes on a Plane" was better suited.

there's been a lot of buzz about this film, especially fuelled by the internet-blogger-fan community. That resulted in the film name (yup, it IS "snakes on a plane"), and also a re-cut of the film...it was originally shot to be a PG-13 film, but due to the increased hype surrounding the film, the studio shot more scenes with further swearing, gore, and nudity, to make this film an R film.

I read somewhere that because of the fake tag line ("we got snakes on the motherfuckin' plane!") spurring on the hype, this line got added to the movie during the re-shoots.

Update: if Joe Pesci, Christopher Walken, Jack Nicholson, and Robert De Niro were trying out for the lead in SOAP:

From IMDB:

Samuel L. Jackson only signed on for this film because of the title. It was later changed to "Pacific Air Flight 121", but Jackson demanded they reverse the change. "We're totally changing that back. That's the only reason I took the job: I read the title."

In March 2006 New Line Cinema, due to massive fan interest on the Internet, allowed for a 5 day reshoot to film new scenes to take the movie from PG-13 to a R-rated film (originally the film wrapped principal photography in September 2005). Among these additions is the Jackson character's line, "I want these motherfucking snakes off this motherfucking plane," a line that originated in an anticipatory internet parody of the movie.

I'm sure this movie will be an instant classic, but I doubt it's going to be better than the book

So far, its received a perfect five-out-of-five stars

According to reviewer Jim Beam, "I know the plot of the book sounds silly, but if Tolstoy was writing "Anna Karenina" today, he'd have her sitting on a airplane being threatened by snakes. And forget about "War and Peace." We'd all be talking about "War and Snakes...on a Plane."
