The last 10 minutes of OnPoint today featured a story about this.

I'm probably, as usual, late to the party, but this story just gave me a real giggle!

If Snakes on a Plane turns out to be a blockbuster, the producers ought to pay the blogosphere, since I'm pretty sure at this point they've put in more effort than the person(s) who developed the plot. The so-bad-it's-good-or-so-we-expect film isn't out until August, but already they've got a parody: Snakes on an Elevator. Rated R for language, but if you can handle a four-syllable word or two go right on ahead.

This is hilarious! and to think that the blogosphere is having this much impact!

In March 2006 New Line Cinema, due to massive fan interest on the Internet, allowed for a 5 day reshoot to film new scenes to take the movie from PG-13 to a R-rated film (originally the film wrapped principal photography in September 2005). Among these additions is the Jackson character's line, "I want these motherfucking snakes off this motherfucking plane," a line that originated in an anticipatory internet parody of the movie.

Now, it's even part of the language.

I'll probably get fired for spending so much time on stuff like this at work...oh well, snakes on a plane...
