    You just know that the title of this was the pitch:

    "Samuel L. Jackson. Snakes. On a plane."

    They just don't even try anymore, you know?

    No way, totally a joke. But it would be an awesome bit of guerrilla marketing if it is real . . .

    A friend of mine has been blogging about this movie on LJ for about a month. I hoped he was kidding. I still want to believe he is. There is no way this is real, please god. BTW, geek points to whoever can point out the 2 nonvenomous species in the trailer. I hope it's some big internet hoax, really...i do.

    I just checked the plot of the movie on Wikipedia hoping the title was metaphorical or something. Nope, its actually about some damned snakes on a plane! I can already hear the turkey a gobbling.


    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snakes_on_a_plane

    So its a real movie. But are you sure this thing ain't going to be direct to video or on HBO? I mean c'mon, didn't Silent Predators do our serpentine friends enough injustice? Must we subject them to both the perils of air travel AND Samuel L. Jackson?

    I can hear Dave Chappelle now. "No, I can't stop yelling, 'cause that's how I talk! Haven't you seen my movies? "Juice" That was a good one! "Snakes On A Plane" They bit me! A motherfucking snake bit me!!"

    There's already an online parody.

    It's real. My boyfriend just worked on their reshoots. Apparently Sam signed on the basis of the title alone, and didn't read the script until he was committed to the movie. He also told the producers that he would sue them if they changed the title.

    I thought this was a joke.

    This is damn pathetic...is it a comedy, perhaps? A take on the idiocy of Hollywood suits?

    And they wonder why theater revenues are in the toilet.

    LOL I was reading yesterday that Samuel L. Jackson signed on to do the movie after just reading the title. Very strange.

    Maybe the snakes are a metaphor.

    I found a credible link.

    I just want to know what's up with Sam Jackson and all the snake movies this year. Back in October, he was in Memphis shooting Black Snake Moan by Craig Brewer, the writer/director of Hustle & Flow. And yes, that title does refer to what you think it does.
