Haha, imdb.com even did a writeup on it. :p

Jackson's Snake Film Creates Huge Buzz
Samuel L. Jackson's new mile-high thriller Snakes On A Plane has created such a buzz among internet film fans, movie bosses have called for re-shoots - to give the film a tougher rating. The film, which stars Jackson as an FBI agent trying to keep a federal witness alive onboard a plane full of snakes, wrapped last September - but went back before the cameras earlier this month for five days of additional shooting. Film bosses at distributor New Line Cinema opted to add new scenes to the film to take the movie from PG-13 into R-rated territory, according to industry magazine The Hollywood Reporter. They claim the second round of filming became necessary after intense and growing fan interest in the film, which is scheduled to be released this summer. Among the reported additions to the film is a foul-mouthed rant from Jackson in which his agent character bellows, "I want these motherf**king snakes off the motherf**king plane!" The line is expected to take on cult status. The film-makers have reportedly added more gore, more deaths, more nudity and more snakes to the finished product.

I just love that last line. "...and more snakes" :D

Samuel L. Jackson at the 2006 MTV Movie Awards:

"I'm here tonight to present the award everyone's been waiting for: best movie. Now, this award holds a special place in my heart because next year I'll be winning it for Snakes on a Plane. Now I know, I know that sounds cocky, but I don't give a damn. I am guaranteeing that Snakes on a Plane will win best movie next year. Does not matter what else is coming out. The New James Bond... no snakes in that! Ocean's 13... where my snakes at? Shrek the Third... green, but not a snake. No movie shall triumph over Snakes on a Plane. Unless I happen to feel like making a movie called Mo' Motha-fuckin' Snakes on Mo' Motha-fuckin' Planes."

This movie has taken on a life of its own in America (bigger than Blair Witch), even before the release date.

People have even made fake audition tapes for the movie.

There's no way it won't be huge...

SLJ has made a phenomonon out of this on the intranet. He knows the geek community is thriving with people willing to latch out onto anything that looks remotely funny.

Snakes that Abstain!

i bumped into a friend on the train the other day and we were talking about planes for some reason and then she asks me if i've heard about the "snakes on a plane" movie

we ended up talking about the movie for an entire hour on the way home.
not sure how
we're now so excited for when it comes out on dvd so we can sit in front of the tv get pissed and laugh at the fact that THERE ARE SNAKES... ON A PLANE!!!

But in a way it would have been dissapointing if it was really good. The movie studio behind it were $mart in encouraging the buzz about it on the net (myspace et al.) and releasing a punk/emo soundtrack to match.

You'd have to be mentally retarded to find anything in this movie the slightest bit entertaining.
