Do you know about this upcoming film? It's about snakes. Snakes that are on a plane. That's the title, an accurate summary, and most likely the entire plot.

But this idea fucking rocks. Plus, Empire magazine got them to keep this name after going for some dull title like Flight 217 or something.LongVin wrote:Hollywood truly has run out of ideas for original movies if this is the best they could think up. If this is the new trend for movies I'll gladly accept more remakes.

That reminds me of a trailer I saw today for something called When A Stranger Calls. I thought it was a MadTV spoof skit through nearly the entire thing. Do we really need another clone of Scream?
Back to the topic, for some reason I get the feeling that this movie is a parody. I mean, Hollywood wouldn't seriously do something like this...would they?

I've heard Samuel L. Jackson's going to be starring in it. I wish he wouldn't sully his Bad Motherfucker name by starring in something that sounds so stupid.
Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things... their number is negligible and they are stupid. --Dwight D. Eisenhower

We can only hope. But if it's for real, how much you wanna bet that the Sci-Fi Channel picks it up? Seeing as how they had a giant killer snake movie marathon on Christmas Day, they seem seriously hard up for those kind of movies...Dalton wrote:Back to the topic, for some reason I get the feeling that this movie is a parody.

.....much as I mourn the missed chances for worthier films this thing no doubt represents, part of me is delighted to see a movie handled so hamfistedly.

Reminds me of when that movie about the evil fog came out a few months back. I laughed when I saw the trailer, because I'd seen a sitcom make fun of "they're running out of disasters" with a fog movie about eight years back.

That movie was actually about killer ghouls within the titular fog, and it was a remake of John Carpenter's The Fog from 1980.CaptainChewbacca wrote:Reminds me of when that movie about the evil fog came out a few months back.

dude that was a remake too!!!
dog, please bark once if I'm the only thirty+ watching this thread who remembers all the horror movies from the 1970's that are getting remade the last few years?
dog, tell me they aren't going to come out with: Deliverance, Westworld, I spit on your Grave, or anything else from that era.

Snakes... Why did it have to be snakes....
Unless they're evil Islamic Terroist Snakes that have a massive bomb filled with bio-chem weapons aboard and they give Steven Segal billing on the posters even though he dies in the first 20 minutes... Or is that the plot of a really shitty Kurt Russle flick I'm thinking of?

SNAKES ON A PLANE?!
It's been something of a meme joke on the Penny Arcade forums for the past couple of months. I'd assumed it was from a video game or something.

Surely forcing a movie to be released as Snakes on a Plane affirms his BAMFitude. Hell, if i get the chance to see it, i will.The studio tried to change the flick's name to Pacific Air Flight 121 earlier this year, but star Samuel L. Jackson balked, saying the title was a big reason he signed on.

If a lot of people have the same opinion and see it and it does great, can you just imagine the sequels? Not just snakes on planes, but we're talking piranhas on planes. Or trains. Or hounds that shoot bees out of their mouths. On boats. The creativity can go on and on.
