Snakes on a Plane is a high concept horror–thriller film[1] starring Samuel L. Jackson. It was released by New Line Cinema on August 18 2006 in North America. The David R. Ellis-helmed film was created by David Dalessandro and written by Dalessandro, John Heffernan, and Sheldon Turner.

The film has been rated R by the MPAA and (in the U.K.) 15 by the BBFC, due to its content of bad language, a scene of sexuality and drug use, and intense sequences of terror and violence.[2]

Due to its considerable Internet fan base, New Line Cinema incorporated feedback from online users into its production. The film wrapped up principal photography in September 2005, but after anticipation of the upcoming film grew to unexpected levels, the studio later ordered five days of additional re-shooting to raise the MPAA rating from a PG-13 to an R.[3]

History

The storyline of the film is credited to Dalessandro, a University of Pittsburgh administrator and first-time Hollywood writer, who got the idea in 1992 from a nature magazine. "I read about the Indonesian brown tree snake climbing onto planes in cargo during World War II". He originally wrote the screenplay about the brown tree snake loose on a plane and called it "Venom". He soon revised it to be about poisonous snakes, and then crediting the film Alien revised it again to include "lots of them loose in the fuselage of a plane."[4]

Dalessandro's third draft of "Venom" was turned down by all 30 Hollywood studios in 1995 and the Pittsburgh administrator lamented "My big foray into Hollywood. They put it on a shelf." In 1999 though, a producer for MTV/Paramount followed up before NewLine took over.

The film's title and premise generated a lot of pre-release interest on the Internet. One journalist even wrote that Snakes on a Plane is "perhaps the most internet-hyped film of all time."[5] Much of the initial publicity came from a blog entry made by screenwriter Josh Friedman, who had been offered a chance to work on the script.[6] The casting of Jackson further increased anticipation. At one point, the film's working title was altered to Pacific Air Flight 121. In August 2005, Jackson told an interviewer, "We're totally changing that back. That's the only reason I took the job: I read the title."[7] In another interview in early 2006, Jackson claimed that once he learned about the movie title being changed he said: "What are you doing here? It's not Gone with the Wind. It's not On the Waterfront. It's Snakes on a Plane!"[8] On March 2, 2006, the studio reverted the title to Snakes on a Plane.

In recognition of the Internet buzz for what had been a minor movie in their 2006 line-up, New Line Cinema ordered five days of additional shooting in early March 2006[3] (principal photography had wrapped in September 2005). While re-shoots normally imply problems with a film, the producers opted to add new scenes to the film to take the movie from PG-13 into R-rated territory and bring the movie in line with growing fan expectations. Among the additions is a line that originated as an Internet parody of Samuel L. Jackson's typical movie persona: "Enough is enough! I have had it with these muthafuckin' snakes on this muthafuckin' plane!".[3]

On June 3, 2006 while presenting the award for best movie at the 2006 MTV Movie Awards, Jackson said:

No movie shall triumph over Snakes on a Plane. Unless I happen to feel like making a movie called Mo' Muthafuckin' Snakes on Mo' Muthafuckin' Planes.

New Line hired two additional writers to smooth out the screenplay, the original idea dating back to Dalessandro's 1992 version, which carries the entire middle of the movie.[4]

Synopsis

Template:Spoiler This film was made by the directors who happened to be high at the time. while rolling a joint one of them said snakes, 10 minutes later the other said plane After witnessing the brutal murder of a prosecutor by gangster Eddie Kim (Byron Lawson) and his band of thugs, Sean Jones (Nathan Phillips) is escorted by FBI agents Neville Flynn (Samuel L. Jackson) and John Sanders (Mark Houghton) to testify in a highly-publicized case in Los Angeles. Despite increased security for the flight, Kim arranges for time-release crates full of venomous snakes to be placed in the cargo hold of the plane, a Boeing 747-400 (although the interior used features spiral stairs, typically found in the -100 and -200 models of the 747), on which Jones will be flying from Honolulu to Los Angeles. The leis given to the passengers by airport staff upon their departure had been secretly sprayed with pheromones to make the snakes more aggressive in an attempt to bring down the plane before it reaches its destination.

Most of the supporting passengers and crew members are introduced at this point. The passengers include health-obsessed rapper 3Gs (Flex Alexander), with his two bodyguards Troy and Big Leroy (Kenan Thompson and Keith Dallas), a rich girl Mercedes (Rachel Blanchard) with her dog, Mary Kate, a Latin woman (Elsa Pataky) travelling with her baby, two young boys, Curtis and Tommy, who are travelling by themselves for the first time, Chen Leong (Terry Chen), a kickboxer, and Paul, a British businessman who is unhappy with being moved from first-class to coach (all the first-class passengers have moved back this way so that Flynn and Sean can have the section to themselves to guarantee Sean's safety). The crew include Claire Miller (Julianna Margulies) who is leaving after the flight to become a lawyer, Grace (Lin Shaye), a senior attendant, Ken (Bruce James), a flamboyant crew member who displays homosexual behaviour, and Tiffany (Sunny Mabrey), a young, attractive attendant who flirts with Sean.

The crate opens midway through the flight and the snakes make their way throughout the cabin due to a tampered-with access hatch, killing numerous passengers, the pilot, and Agent Sanders. The surviving passengers flee first to the front of the airliner, putting up a blockade of luggage, but when the snakes break through due to turbulence caused by the co-pilot being attacked by a snake, they flee upstairs to the first class area. As they are making their way up the stairs, a Burmese python in the lighting falls through and, after snacking on Mercedes' dog, feasts on Paul, who sacrificed the dog.

Agent Flynn contacts FBI Special Agent Hank Harris (Bobby Cannavale) on the ground, who arranges for emergency crews to be waiting at Los Angeles International Airport. Agent Harris then calls ophiologist Dr. Steven Price (Todd Louiso), who identifies the snakes based on pictures Agent Flynn sends him via a smartphone belonging to Mercedes. It is learned that the deadly crate was full of exotic snakes from around the world, which leads the FBI, with Agent Harris and Dr. Price in command, to a man named Kraitler (Darren Moore), who is the only person in the Los Angeles area who would be capable of gathering the rare snakes found on the plane. Agent Harris extracts a confession from Kraitler, who says that he was the person who illegally obtained the snakes for Kim's use. He is then taken into custody, with his stock of antivenom being commandeered for the surviving snakebite victims aboard the plane.

"Enough is enough! I have had it with these muthafuckin' snakes on this muthafuckin' plane!"[9] [10] [11] [12]

Meanwhile, Flynn goes into the bottom of the plane in order to restore the air conditioning/ventilation, without which the plane would overheat and plummet into the ocean. While searching for the switch, he discovers that a mechanical panel was intentionally left open to allow the snakes to reach the cabin where the passengers were located. Upon returning, he finds that the surviving copilot, Rick (David Koechner) has been killed by the snakes. That prompts the normally unflappable Flynn to finally lose his temper: "Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!" He orders all the passengers to strap into their seats, while he uses his pistol to shoot out two windows, which causes the plane to depressurize, blowing the snakes out of the plane.

Flynn and Troy then take the controls and land the plane at Los Angeles International Airport, thanks to Troy's 2,000 logged hours on a PlayStation 2 flight simulator. Once the plane lands, the passengers ride the yellow exit slides to safety. As Agent Flynn and Sean depart the plane, a final snake drops from overhead and bites Sean. Agent Flynn draws his gun and shoots the snake, causing Sean to tumble down the slide. Paramedics rip open Sean's shirt to reveal a bulletproof vest with two bullets embedded in it. As the passengers and crew depart, Agent Flynn decides to repay Claire by taking her out for dinner. Tiffany kisses Sean and gives him her phone number. Ken, who is assumed to be gay throughout the movie, is seen kissing his girlfriend, and everyone reacts with surprise. The film's closing scene features Jones and Flynn surfing, presumably in Bali.

Media coverage

The film debuted on August 18, 2006 with some late-night screenings on August 17, 2006. Despite the lack of advance screenings, the movie has garnered much publicity in various media.

During a July 21, 2006 panel discussion at the Comic-Con Convention in San Diego, California, a ten-minute clip from the film was shown to a crowd of more than 6,500 people. The panel included actors Samuel L. Jackson and Kenan Thompson, director David R. Ellis, and snake handler Jules Sylvester. Afterwards, fans were allowed to ask the panelists questions.[13]

Print

Games Workshop has published the novelization of the film, written by Christina Faust.[14] On June 13, 2006, comic book writer Chuck Dixon announced on his web site that he would be writing the comic book adaptation of Snakes on a Plane. DC Comics has since announced that their Wildstorm imprint will release a two issue miniseries on August 16, 2006 and August 30, 2006. In January 2006, Wired featured the film as "The best worst film of 2006", based solely on the title and concept of the movie.[15]

An illustrated book from Thunder's Mouth Press, Snakes on a Plane: The Guide to the Internet Ssssssensation by David Waldon details the internet phenomenon and was published July 28, 2006.[16] Waldon details various viral videos relating to the SoaP craze, and interviewed their producers to find out what about the movie captured their attention.

Sterling Publishing released the tie-in sudoku book Snakes on a Sudoku on August 1, 2006. According to the book description, the puzzles are standard sudoku puzzles, but with the 3x3 blocks of numbers replaced with "deadly snakes" (actually, snake-shaped groups of squares).[17]

Snakes on a Plane: The Complete Quote Book was released by HarperCollins on August 8, 2006. [18]

Music and audio

On March 16, 2006, New Line Cinema publicly announced a contest on TagWorld[19] and a website promoting the film.[20] The contest allowed artists on TagWorld to have their music featured on the movie. A flood of S.O.A.P themed songs by artists like Captain Ahab, Louden Swain, the Former Fat Boys, Nispy and others are now available because of the TagWorld contest. In addition, a music video for the film, released July 10, 2006 on MTV2's Unleashed, has also generated publicity for the movie. The video is for the first song on the soundtrack CD, Cobra Starship's "Snakes on a Plane (Bring It)". Additionally, the video appears during the beginning of the credits, after the movie.

In October of 2005, Nathanial Perry and Chris Rohan recorded an audio trailer spoof, which helped fuel the internet buzz. Perry and Rohan recorded the "motherfucking snakes" line in the audio trailer which was added to the film during the week of re-shoots.[21] In July 2006, New Line Cinema signed a worldwide licensing agreement with the Cutting Corporation to produce an audiobook of the film.[22]

The soundtrack is currently available for streaming in its entirety on MTV's The Leak.[23]

Television and video

Beginning in May 2006, episodes of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and its sister show The Colbert Report contained references to Snakes on a Plane's title, the catch phrase, and general premise. Colbert accompanies the references with an imitation of Samuel L. Jackson saying "I am tired of these muthafuckin' snakes on this muthafuckin' plane!" One notable example on The Daily Show occurred just after the alleged terror plot in August 2006, which resulted in a large number of items being banned from airplanes in the UK and USA. This story was accompanied by the satirical tagline "Snakes not allowed on a plane." On August 15, 2006, Samuel L. Jackson guest featured on The Daily Show, opening with the movie's catch phrase. In the same episode, during a story, one of the correspondents asked a snake expert if there had been any reported snake attacks on planes. He denied it, to which the correspondent replied "I've had it with these motherfuckin' experts denying that there's motherfuckin' snakes on motherfuckin' planes!" Keith Olbermann has featured stories about the movie and Internet buzz several times on his MSNBC news program Countdown. In addition, G4's Attack of the Show features a semi-regular segment entitled "Snakes on a Plane: An Attack of the Show Investigation", and even had a week dedicated to the movie which included interviews — including a conversation with Sunny Mabrey in a recreation of an airplane bathroom — and a day where hundreds of actual snakes were on set. Additionally, MTV Canada's MTV Live has made sketches of an eager man waiting in line for months to see Snakes on a Plane first.

In June 2006, New Line Cinema commissioned famed UK audio-visual film remixers and chop-up artists Addictive TV to cut and sample Snakes on a Plane to create trailers for the US television networks.

Merchandising

Several independent T-shirt manufacturers have made T-shirts with graphics illustrating various humorous representations of the film. One, created by Jeffrey Rowland, depicts a frontal exterior view of a plane cockpit, with the pilot and copilot depicted as snakes. Another uses vintage road signs to formulate "Snakes + Plane = Snakes on a Plane". A third showed a cartoon representation of Jackson's Mace Windu character from the Star Wars series cutting down snakes with a lightsaber. It was pulled, presumably for copyright reasons.

A Snakes on a Plane t-shirt is also now available at Hot Topic retail stores. Samuel L. Jackson was dressed in the snakes in cockpit fanshirt in the official music video Snakes on a Plane, though this is only readily obvious from still photos from the day of the shoot, and only a fraction of the shirt is visible in the video. The shirt he is wearing is from TopatoCo; it is unknown if he chose the shirt himself, or if someone working on wardrobe selected it. On the August 3 2006 edition of TNA iMPACT!, wrestler Christian Cage was the latest person to sport the "road sign" t-shirt.

In a move which goes against usual movie merchandise practices, New Line Cinema partnered with CafePress.com to permit fans of Snakes on a Plane to become official licensees of Snakes on a Plane merchandise. This opened the door for millions to design and sell not only t-shirts, but other gift items such as mugs. Designers are restricted from using any copyrighted images or content created by New Line Cinema (e.g. images from the film), or images/depictions of the individual actors in the film. Fans have already responded by creating hundreds of designs including those using the full title of the film, something allowed by the New Line Cinema/CafePress partnership.

Internet

Snakes on a Plane generated considerable buzz on the internet after Josh Friedman's blog entry[6] and mentions on several Internet portals. The title inspired bloggers to create songs, apparel, poster art, pages of fan fiction, parody films, mock movie trailers and even short film parody competitions.[24] Snakes on a Plane has also inspired the creation of graphics for fictional movies about other animals in odd settings, such as "Bears on a Submarine" and "Sharks on a Roller Coaster" (Tagline: You must be this tall...to DIE!).

Snakes on a Plane was promoted highly on the Pod-cast Filmspotting, formerly known as Cinecast.

A viral video entitled "Snakes on a Plane Early Auditions" features comedian Dave Coyne doing impressions of actors Christopher Walken, Jack Nicholson, Joe Pesci, and Robert De Niro, and muppet Beaker, doing casting auditions for the movie.[25] The film has been featured on Digg, iFilm, and YouTube, and was included as enhanced content on the film's soundtrack. Coyne's voice acting talent can be heard in the audiobook dramatization of Snakes on a Plane.

In March of 2006, the Zebro comedy group produced the first ever Snakes on a Plane music video contest. Contestants were told to write and record original songs inspired by the movie and then make them into music videos. The top 3 videos were produced by Zebro itself, including the rap song "Snakes on an MP3" which has been featured on Extra, MTV, CNN, and MSNBC after being put on YouTube. Another song entitled "100%: A Tribute to SoaP" is a claymation video dedicated to the film. The videos are in discussion to be put on the official DVD produced by Automat Pictures.[citation needed]

The August 16, 2006 installment of the anthology webcomic The Joy of Tech depicts a parody of the film named "Sapiens on a Planet"; specifically, it shows a movie theatre headlining this movie, in a world where the roles of people and snakes are reversed.[26]

Many of the early false trailers and other viral videos circulated via YouTube, and captured media attention there, such as:

On July 6, 2006, the official Snakes on a Plane website started a promotional sweepstakes called the "The #1 Fan King Cobra Sweepstakes". The contest makes innovative use of the publicity-generating potential of the Internet, requiring contestants to post links on forums, blogs, and websites and collecting votes from the users of those sites.

Recently, Varitalk has started an advertising campaign in which fans can send an amusing semi-personalized message in the voice of Samuel L. Jackson to telephone numbers of their choosing.

Trailers

The official teaser trailer premiered before X-Men 3: The Last Stand, and the first official trailer appeared online on June 26, 2006.[27] Another trailer circulated in July 2006, showing several of the snake attacks and a missing pilot and co-pilot.[28] In addition, New Line Cinema commissioned famed UK audio-visual film remixers and chop-up artists Addictive TV to cut and sample the film to create trailers for the US television networks. Rotten Tomatoes has video clips of the official trailers, as well as fan-made trailers.[29]

Critical reaction

In mid-July 2006, New Line Cinema revealed that it would not be showing any advance screenings for critics.

After the film opened, Snakes On A Plane received a 70% favorable rating among the consensus of critics tracked by Rottentomatoes.com.[30]

Reviewers reported audiences cheering, applauding and engaging in "call and response", noting that audience participation was an important part of the film's appeal.[31][32][33]

Box office

Due to the amount of Internet hype surrounding the film, industry analysts estimated the movie's opening box office to be between US$20 million and US$30 million.[34] While Snakes on a Plane did narrowly beat Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby for #1 its opening weekend, it failed to meet these estimates and grossed only US$15.25 million in its opening days, a disappointment for New Line Cinema.[35] Snakes On A Plane plummeted to 9th place in its second weekend by a significant 57.6% loss of its audience.[1][2]

The soundtrack was released on August 15, 2006 as a joint project between New Line Records and Decaydance Records. [36]

Trivia

  • The title image is a reference to the caduceus, the staff belonging to the Greek god Hermes.
  • The phrase "snakes in the cockpit," which is said in the film, is used by pilots in reference to the high number of complex tasks they have to accomplish.
  • About two-thirds of the snakes seen in the movie are either animatronic or computer generated. However, about 450 live snakes representing about 25 different species were used, including corn snakes, mangrove snakes, milk snakes, rattlesnakes and king snakes. [37]
  • One of the snakes seen on the plane (specifically, the one that crawls into Mercedes' purse, and later is blown up in the microwave) is a Scarlet Kingsnake, a non-venomous snake that is often confused with the deadly Coral Snake. Although they will bite humans, their bite is not dangerous.
  • A rip-off horror B-movie, Snakes on a Train, was released straight to DVD on August 15, 2006, only 3 days prior to Snakes on a Plane's theatrical release.
  • In the Internet flash "Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny," Samuel L. Jackson is shown for a brief moment, and then attacked by small green snakes. The same animator made another movie based on Snakes on a Plane.
  • The initial script for the film was 122 pages long when director David Ellis signed on to direct the film. After reworking the script along with his producing director and Samuel L. Jackson for more than four months, the script was thinned down to 103 pages.[38]
  • Some radio stations have noted the hype associated with the movie in their broadcasts, creating fake promos for supposed sequels such as Dinosaurs in a Cab and Trouser Snakes on a Plane. Many have also been using the voice message of Samuel L. Jackson, which is found on the film's official site, for promoting their stations.
  • The film includes several product placements including Kawasaki and Red Bull in the opening scenes, GMC Trucks driven by Eddie Kim, Harris using eBay to buy a poster, onscreen use of a Sony PSP and mention of a PlayStation 2 and an Xbox (which is credited by Flynn as indirectly saving the plane: "All praise to the PlayStation!"), Purell hand sanitizer, a Nintendo DS and Pepsi products on the plane.
  • Rumors circulated that two live rattlesnakes had been released at a showing of the film in August 2006 in Phoenix, Arizona.[39][40] It was later revealed that one snake had made its way into the lobby of the theater on its own, and another had been found in the parking lot in a separate incident.[41]
  • The first act of the Steven Spielberg film Raiders of the Lost Ark ends with Indiana Jones facing a large snake in the passenger seat of a seaplane.[42]

    Indiana: There's a big snake in the plane, Jock!

Jock (the pilot): Oh, that's just my pet snake Reggie.
Indiana: I hate snakes, Jock! I hate 'em!

Jock: C'mon, show a little backbone, will ya?
