That film that stopped being SNAKES ON A PLANE is now SNAKES ON A PLANE again, Thank God!!!

Hey folks, Harry here... There are few people on this planet that could star in a film called SNAKES ON A PLANE - that without whom, I'd be hoping for some form of cinematic atrocity to happen to the film print. Then I heard SNAKES ON A PLANE was starring Samuel L Jackson (star of the upcoming BLACK SNAKE MOAN, it is still unknown what the third film in Sam's Snake trilogy will be, but we await). When I heard Sam was playing the captain of the plane on which the snakes are slithering amuck... I went into mild progressive geekgasms... Then I was told they were calling it some bland tv movie of the week title. Well, thanks to the genius of Mr Beaks - who is now running a site called COLLIDER you can read how Sam demanded the name be returned to the film and some little details.

Now - I thought I knew the premise of the film... I thought terrorists snuck some poisonous snakes aboard the passenger plane and turned them loose, while a bad ass captain from hell unleashed monkey-fu on the snakes (if you watch your Shaw Bros films, you know that it is only Monkey Fu or Eagles Claw that can truly defeat the deadly prowess of Snake Fu.). But... They've got a 350lb Burmese Python in this film... and... how do you sneak a 350lb Burmese Python into a plane? I mean, that... that's a big ass snake - and I'm dying to see it swallow some anorexic college ditz. Anyway - the film is now called SNAKES ON A PLANE again... thank God and Samuel L Jackson!!!
