Synopsis One of the few movies to become an online cult phenomenon even before it was even finished, ‘Snakes on a Plane’, directed by David R Ellis and starring Samuel L Jackson, is based on the simple premise that an ex-mafia witness must be assassinated before he can testify. The assassin decides the best way to do that is to release 400 snakes onto the plane that is transporting the witness to the trial. click here for official website

SNAKES ON A PLANE...one of the most original names for a film about a plane with snakes on it!

That's what I've been thinking. It even has the line; "I'm fed up of these snakes on this plane!" Never a good sign

Will there be a sequel? Scorpions on a Train? They could film it on the East Coast Main Line for next to nothing, with Ricky Tomlinson and a tongue in cheek cameo from The Scorpions (the band)

Review from Radio Times site:
Snakes on a Plane (2006) (Two stars) David R Ellis's much anticipated slither-fest certainly generated a wave of internet hype, but this by-the-numbers thriller barely surpasses the standard of a straight-to-video movie. As the gimmicky title suggests, the poisonous reptiles are let loose on a Hawaii to LA flight. Their target is Nathan Phillips (Wolf Creek), the only witness in a major murder case, who is in the protective custody of FBI agent Samuel L Jackson. The script is a few one-liners short of an Airplane! sequel (and some of these were tailored to internet bloggers' suggestions), and the plot is as unconvincing as the CGI snakes that gorily strike the mile-high club's bevy of eccentric passengers. Once you're past the shock of a “snake shower” falling from the oxygen masks, repetition soon sets in, and the attacks merge into standard disaster movie fare, complete with plummeting aircraft. And, yes, stewardess Julianna Margulies does have to fly the plane.

I'm lookin forward to seeing this film, interesting that after the initial script/shooting was done it was posted on a blog and the people who viewed it suggested possible alterations and they actually listened to one person and changed it.

Snakes, on plane, says it all really! Why couldn't it be a mass murderer on the plane! Snakes?..... Snakes have a big 'eek' or 'eww' factor for lots of people - they're playing up to a common phobia/misconception in the hope that it'll somehow seem scarier than a madman with an axe or something. Personally, I'd have said spiders would have had a better effect (not that I'm scared of either) - just look at how many people get creeped out watching Arachnophobia!

I don't particularly like snakes or spiders..... But I'd still find being trapped on a bus full of pensioners more scary.
