Will someone *Please* explain the whole "Snakes On A Plane" thing to me?

Is this supposed to be a theatrical release, or will it be straight to video?

On consideration, most feel-good sentimental papfests would be dramatically improved by a healthy infusion of slithering reptiles.

This is an actual movie.

Look, it’s very simple. There’s nothing more to understand about the movie. The title explains everything. It really really is that simple.

It’s a movie. About these snakes. The snakes are on a plane. And Samuel Jackson’s gonna kick their ass. And considering that snakes are about 90% ass, that’s a lot of ass to kick.

This movie just found its tag line.

According to this, it enters wide release on August 18th

The only way it could be any better is if it were called…

Snakes Flying a Plane

I like what I’m hearing…but I gotta have more [del]cowbell[/del] Samuel L. Jackson!

“I put my pants on just like the rest of you - one leg at a time. Except, once my pants are on, I kick snake ass”.

This teaser trailer should clear things up a bit:

I was bored at the hospital today, and thought up a little haiku:

Oh snakes on a plane
And there’s Samuel L. Jackson
On the plane. With snakes

Only if it had Adam Sandler. . . :stuck_out_tongue:

This interview with some lacky from the set makes me want to see the movie even more.

I would also very much like to purchase this shirt.

More on why SLJ agreed to be in the film:

SLJ: What do they call it?
Producer: They call it a “Snakes on a Plane.”
SLJ: “Snakes on a Plane.” (big smile)
Producer: That’s right.

Then later that morning when asked why he decided to do the movie:

SLJ: I was just sitting here drinking my coffee, eating my muffin, playin’ the incident in my head, when I had what alcoholics refer to as a “moment of clarity.”

And for the sequal: Flying Snakes on a Plane!

They can cheep and hiss and do little dogfights with a Steadicam pointed in Mr. Jackson’s face while he’s shouting “MotherF*cker!”

Apropos of not very much, the sequel to Pirahna had the ravenous fishies of the title crossbreed so they could become airborne.

Not one of James Cameron’s finer moments.

Piranha, dammit.

That title is just a few letters away from being a porn film.

Skanks on a Plane
Spanks on a Plane
Sperm Banks on a Plane

Oh, I see.

So it’s a chick flick then, right?

No no no, the snakes swallow the chicks. Whole.

Why oh why couldn’t Christopher Walken be in it too? He could’ve be the pilot.

SoaP to be re-cut for an R rating
