What the fuck was that?

 

"Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes."

[Special K 0]

That's seriously the best title for a movie ever. It will suck, but really, that's great.

In even more good news the movie recently had a 5 day re shoot to up it's rating from PG-13 to R. They brought back 5 of the principle actors to re film scenes and shoot new ones with stronger language and more gore.

 

Star Samuel L. Jackson had this to say when the movie studio changed the title to Pacific Air Flight 121: "We’re totally changing that back. That’s the only reason I took the job: I read the title. You either want to see that, or you don’t."

 

That scene of Jackson whipping some guy with a snake is hilarious.

This past Monday in my English class, we were talking about bad movies, so someone mentioned that this movie was coming out soon. When asked what the plot was, the person could only come up with, "There's apparently a bunch of snakes on this plane... Samuel L. Jackson and Kenan Thompson are in it." We all had a good laugh.

 

Seriously though, I'm still trying to figure out if this is supposed to be a comedy or not. Kenan Thompson is in it, afterall. With him in it, I look forward to SNL making jokes about it.

didn't SNL already do a skit about snakes on a plane?

[Ripper 0]

That was the funniest shit I have seen in a while. I will own this on DVD just to be able to hold up the DVD that says "Snakes on a PLANE!!!"

Thank you for posting this. I couldn't stop laughing.

Here's a reason to support Hollywood remakes and rehashes: Because Hollywood's original ideas include tripe such as Snakes on a Plane.

 

Unless the camp value hits the roof, I'm going to have to avoid this one at all costs.

[Gary Floyd 0]

The things that have me sold on it are:

 

.The title

.Sam Jackson wipping a man with a snake

.Kennan Thompson hitting a snake with a briefcase

 

Interesting fact: A while back, Lionsgate said they were going to do a movie with Zombies on a plane. I guess nothing came out of it.

I'm calling my video store tomorrow and reserving my copy now.

That was the stupidest thing ever only saved by the greatest title in the history of film.

A snake on a plane!

 

 

This movie is going to end up being one of the all time great classic cult films, period. I'll be there on opening night.

What the hell? This looks like something I would see on the Sci-Fi channel at midnight. Although I wonder how in the hell a snake can pop up from the front of a woman's dress and hiss in her face without her knowing it.

 

I smell an OSCAR for Mr. Jackson.

I think it is meant to be campy. The shot of the guy holding the snake while staring at it just screaming like a dumbass....that had to be on purpose.

[Cheech Tremendous 0]

didn't SNL already do a skit about snakes on a plane?

 

Glad that I'm not the only person who remembered that. Truly one of the most underrated sketches of all time.

I had no idea Kenan was in it, so I looked it up on IMDB. David Koechner is going to be in it too. There is no way this was meant to be serious. I'm even more interested now.

 

Just went to watch the Trailer now though and it has been taken off of YouTube.

Maybe the effects aren't finalized?

Downhome is now the best poster ever.

Ok, so do the snakes bite the pilot or something? I fail to see the element of danger here when they can just land, and get off the plane.

 

Maybe this happens in a storm.

 

How do the snakes get ON the plane? How do they get loose???

 

I'm going to watch this.

 

And I'm going to drag my girlfriend to it.

Someone wants someone dead.

 

It's called Snakes on a Plane. That's the important part.

This will truely be one of the most hilarious films since Batman and Robin

[Youth N Asia 0]

Is there going to be one good snake in the bunch that turns on the evil ones, lands the plane, and brings them all to safety?

 

this does not look good, but I have to see it

"You, uhm, ever seen a grown snake naked?"

Fan frenzy for 'Snakes' is on a different plane

 

By Borys Kit

As film backstories go, this one is fairly serpentine. This month, New Line Cinema's "Snakes on a Plane," which wrapped principal photography in September in Vancouver, went back before the cameras for five days of additional shooting at the Lot in Los Angeles.

 

In this case, it wasn't the usual reshoot, hastily assembled to fix a nagging story problem. Instead, the studio decided to create new scenes that would take the movie from PG-13 into R-rated territory.

 

The second round of filming also came about because of intense and growing fan interest in the movie, which was directed by David R. Ellis and is not scheduled to be released until Aug. 18.

 

"Snakes" stars Samuel L. Jackson as an FBI agent who has to fight a planeload of snakes unleashed by an assassin bent on killing a witness in protective custody. Sight unseen, the movie has grown from something of a joke into a phenomenon slithering untamed throughout the Internet.

 

As a movie whose fan base has grown spontaneously and organically, "Snakes" is relatively rare.

 

Intense fan reaction to movies most often is associated with titles that have established themselves in other media, such as comic book movies or fantasy novels, before making their way to the screen. Or it becomes attached to surprise hits, like the original "Star Wars," that develop massive cult followings once they are released.

 

But original movies that develop a big prerelease following are uncommon. Artisan Entertainment pulled off that trick in 1999 with its viral Internet campaign for "The Blair Witch Project," but that success has not been easily duplicated.

 

"Snakes," based an original script by John Heffernan (with rewrites by David Louca, Sheldon Turner, Sebastian Gutierrez and Chris Morgan) barely has an official Web site at the moment. But the movie, produced by Craig Berenson, Don Granger and Gary Levinsohn, already is the talk of a certain segment of the Net without any real prodding on the part of New Line.

 

It all started with the provocative and buzzworthy, if also reductive, title. New Line picked up the script in turnaround from Paramount Pictures in March 2003 -- in the wake of Sept. 11, terror-on-a-plane movies had fallen out of favor. And even within New Line, there were skeptics who viewed "Snakes on a Plane" as nothing but a simple programr with a "stupid title."

 

After Jackson came on board as the star, the title was upgraded to the more generic "Pacific Air Flight 121." The studio said it was a temporary moniker being used for "casting purposes." Executives were searching for something that was more thriller-like and less campy. According to sources, Jackson's camp also was in favor of a title change.

 

"Who wants to be in a movie called 'Snakes on a Plane'?" asked one talent agent at the time, seeming to echo the studio's concerns.

 

But once production began, a funny thing happened. Movie fans began noticing the black sheep of the New Line slate. They seized upon the title and started spontaneously creating fan sites, blogs, T-shirts, poems, fiction and songs. The title itself, sometimes abbreviated as "SoaP," has emerged as Internet-speak for fatalistic sentiments that range from c'est la vie to "shit happens."

 

"The title is so clear and so straightforward," said Brian Finkelstein, a Washington, D.C., native who created the blog Snakesonablog.com and who hopes to score tickets to the movie's premiere. "You know exactly what you're going to get."

 

Like Harry Potter, whose first suggestion that he's got magic on his hands comes when he discovers he can talk to snakes in their language , New Line got the message. Deciding that so many anonymous fans couldn't be wrong, the studio decided to revert to the movie's original title.

 

Jackson publicly endorsed the move. "That's the only reason I took the job: I read the title," Jackson told entertainment site Collider.com. He added, "You either want to see that, or you don't."

 

New Line execs, concerned that it is too early to discuss the movie, declined comment. But sources now insist the studio never abandoned the "Snakes" title in the first place and that "Pacific Air" was just an internal working title.

 

In any event, "Snakes"-ophiles already were hard at work. Chris Rohan of Bethesda, Md., created an elaborate, R-rated audio trailer that lovingly mocks the title and movie. "It's a genius title," Rohan said. "It's so stupid it's great. It invites satire, but it's something you just love. It's something I can't explain. You either get it or you don't."

 

The audio bit uses a Jackson sound-alike shouting, "I want these motherfucking snakes off the motherfucking plane!" Soon, the growing legion of fans added their voices as they demanded that that phrase also appear in the movie.

 

Apparently, the studio got the hint. When Ellis assembled Jackson and others for the recent shoot, the filmmakers added more gore, more death, more nudity, more snakes and more death scenes. And they shot a scene where Jackson does utter the line that fans have demanded.

 

Those involved with the film said the reshoots weren't prompted by fans but rather by the existing footage that already was a hairline into R territory. Within the studio, the thinking was, "We're already going to get an R, why not go all the way?" But the filmmakers do concede that the Jackson line will be in the movie for the sake of the fans.

 

Meanwhile, the phenomenon keeps growing.

 

David Coin, a Maryland-based friend of Rohan, pitched in by creating a "Snakes" song and is working on a second.

 

New Line, in turn, is reaching out to the fans. In response to populist "Snakes" songs already created, the studio has just teamed up with social-networking site TagWorld.com to launch a contest that will allow one lucky winner's song to be featured in the movie.
