Snakes On A Plane

[Suge Knight]

Hier könnte sich alles Fabelhafte, was in der Filmgeschichte jemals erreicht und erarbeitet wurde, in einem großartigen Moment zu einem einzigen Film verdichten. Ein Titel, der nichts und doch gleichzeitig alles sagt. Ein Schauspieler (Samuel L. Jackson), der so klar und bereit ist wie nie zuvor. Eine Story, die so genial wie einfach ist und zusammengefaßt wie folgt lautet: "On board a flight over the Pacific Ocean, an assassin, bent on killing a passenger who's a witness in protective custody, let loose a crate full of deadly snakes."

Die Academy Awards 2007 sind gelaufen und "Titanic" wird schon bald nicht mehr länger die Nummer 1 sein.
2006 wird das Jahr von "Snakes On A Plane"!

Wie das ganze aussehen könnte (Quelle: IMDB-Board):

Sam: Snake, what up?
Snake: I don't know, man. I'm just kinda depressed.
Sam: What?
Snake: Yeah.
Sam: Oh, what's up?
Snake: My mom's sick.
Sam: That's tough, man.
Snake: You got a cigarette?
Sam: I think so, hold up. (he checks) Yeah snake, right here, here you go.
(He gives cigarette to snake)
Snake: Thanks. Light it up for me, you know I ain't got no hands.
Sam: Oh, yeah, sho'nuff.
(He lights it)
Snake: Thanks.
(Silence)
Sam: So, sorry about your mom.
Snake: Me too, man, me too. (The Snake has tears in his eyes) I never told her I loved her enough.
Sam: What? I'm sure she knows you love her.
Snake: But does she? Does she really?
Sam: I don't know, snake. Why you riding my ass?
Snake: Sorry, man. I'm stressed. My mom died.
Sam: What?
Snake: Yeah. Dead.
Sam: You just said she was sick, not dead.
Snake: Hey man, she's dead. Give me a break.
Sam: It's a good thing we're on this plane.
Snake: Yeah.
Sam: Pretty fast.
Snake: What?
Sam: Planes, they move pretty fast. Kind of like life, you know.
Snake: Yeah, I know. (a pause) Hey Sam, you remember when we were little kids and we used to chill together after school?
Sam: Yeah, snake, I remember.
Snake: We were so young, so young and innocent, weren't we?
Sam: Yeah, yeah we were, snake.
(Close up of snake's eyes)
Snake: Well those days are over. HISSSSSSSSS.
(Music kicks in, jump cut to snake suddenly coiling around Sam, he gets his gun and fires, fires, fires, so many snakes suddenly...)

'Snakes on a Plane' Reshoots for an "R"

New Line Cinema knows what's up and they've decided to take their Snakes on a Plane (S.O.A.P.) to the next level. According to the official Blog, the film has finished reshoots to ensure an "R" rating, "As you may be well aware, Snakes On A Plane just finished doing some reshoots last week at The Lot in Hollywood (a far cry from their original Vancouver set) to bump the movie's rating from a safe PG-13 to an R. I was on the crew, and I'll tell you what I know." A little exclusive bit of news here as Bloody-Disgusting.com actually has a few pictures of the props used in the reshoots, let's see if we can get some approval to post them! Let's just say, the body count is gonna be pretty damn high. The film centers on a ruthless assassin who unleashes a crate full of lethal snakes aboard a packed passenger jet over the Pacific Ocean in order to eliminate a witness in protective custody. The rookie pilot and frightened passengers must band together to survive. (Bloody Disgusting)

:respekt:
Der erste Film, der von PG-13 auf R gehen will und nicht umgekehrt. Wenn das Phänomen erst mal richtig seinen Lauf nimmt, werden sich die Kritiker mit Schlagzeilen wie "Der 'Arctic Monkey' unter den Filmen" überhäufen.

[proximo]

der erste Trailer ist auch online:

http://www.tagworld.com/snakesonaplane  (ganz unten!)

Einige der Schlangen müssen aber wohl noch in die Post-production...

[mr. pink]

Sagt mal, soll das Ernst gemeint sein???
Der Trailer ist ja übelst mies. Da war die "Anaconda" ja besser getrickst.....

Was zur Hölle treibt Sam Jackson in diesem Film?

[schlitzauge23]

Ich glaub die ersten Posts waren mit nen bisschen Ironie geschrieben :icon_wink: Sieht irgwie lustig aus der Trailer  :icon_lol: Aber die Schlangen sind mal echt schlecht gemacht :icon_lol:

[StS]

Hey, der wird ein richtig schöner No-Brainer!  :icon_biggrin:

[Tomalak]

Klingt super bescheuert. Ich freu mich

[Nibi]

Was ein Schrott(zumindest der erste Eindruck), ist bestimmt gut. Hat was von Scary Movie (wenn auch unfreiwillig)

[schlitzauge23]

Scary Movie :00000109: Eher an Arac Attack, den ich übrigens sehr gut fand.

[proximo]

Also ich möchte diesen Thread jetzt mal dazu benutzen,folgendes zu äußern:

Ich halte Samuel L. Jackson, unabhängig von Auszeichnungen jeglichet Art, für einen der großartigsten und legendärsten Schauspieler unserer Zeit!!! Und zwar unter anderem weil ich noch nie irgendeinen Film mit ihm gesehen hab, der mich nicht von vorne bis hinten unterhalten hat!

Ich werde immer jeden Film mit Mr L. Jackson gucken und genießen!

Also serviert die Schlangen...

Ist doch ein Scherz oder?  :LOL: Also wenn der Film sich nicht ernst nimmt, dann weiß ich auch nicht mehr.

Der Film wird nochmal ein 5-tägiges re-shooting durchlaufen, um von PG-13 auf R-rated zu kommen

Ich glaub immer weniger, dass dieser Film überhaupt EXISTIERT!

Noch ein paar weitere Infos zum Reshoot aus der imdb:

Samuel L. Jackson's new mile-high thriller Snakes On A Plane has created such a buzz among internet film fans, movie bosses have called for re-shoots - to give the film a tougher rating. The film, which stars Jackson as an FBI agent trying to keep a federal witness alive onboard a plane full of snakes, wrapped last September - but went back before the cameras earlier this month for five days of additional shooting. Film bosses at distributor New Line Cinema opted to add new scenes to the film to take the movie from PG-13 into R-rated territory, according to industry magazine The Hollywood Reporter. They claim the second round of filming became necessary after intense and growing fan interest in the film, which is scheduled to be released this summer. Among the reported additions to the film is a foul-mouthed rant from Jackson in which his agent character bellows, "I want these motherf**king snakes off the motherf**king plane!" The line is expected to take on cult status. The film-makers have reportedly added more gore, more deaths, more nudity and more snakes to the finished product.


More Gore, more Deaths, more Nudity...ach, macht doch 10 Tage draus....!

"Bloody Disgusting"-Interview mit den Regisseur:


One of the most anticipated horror/thrillers of 2006, "Snakes on a Plane", to be widely released on August 18, is director David R. Ellis' third foray into the genre. In 2003 he directed the horror film, "Final Destination 2", and in 2004, he directed the Kim Basinger thriller, "Cellular". But now, with "Snakes on a Plane", he has encountered a film which, simply by word of mouth and the Internet, has taken on a life of its own.

Ellis himself has grown up in the business. A native of Malibu, California, he got his start in the 1974 Disney film, "The Strongest Man in the World", co-starring alongside Kurt Russell as well as working as a stunt man. He continued as a stunt coordinator, working on such films as "Clear and Present Danger" and "Patriot Games" with Harrison Ford, "The Addams Family", "Days of Thunder", "Lethal Weapon" and "Misery". He was also second unit director for "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", "Clear and Present Danger", "Patriot Games", "The Matrix Reloaded" and "The Perfect Storm", among others. His first foray as a director was 1996's "Homeward Bound II: Lost in San Francisco". And now, after two successful genre films, he is looking forward to the response "Snakes on a Plane" will receive.

BD: Hello David. First question – why "Snakes on a Plane"?

DE: I had already done two films for New Line, "Final Destination 2" and "Cellular". "Snakes on a Plane" was originally to be directed by Ronny Yu, who helmed "Freddy v. Jason" and "Bride of Chucky", but for whatever reason, that fell through and I was sent the script.

BD: What was it about the script that attracted you to the project?

DE: I really liked the concept. The plot combines two of the biggest fears people have – snakes and flying – as well as being caught in a storm while in the air and there's no place to land.

BD: The title is so simple and yet it says it all. Did you have any input as to the title?

DE: No, the title was already set when I came on board but it was changed at one point to "Pacific Air 121". People hated that so it went back to the more colorful "Snakes on a Plane".

BD: There has been a lot of talk about the addition of footage to go from a PG-13 rating to the more desirable, at least among horror fans, R rating. What was put back in the film?

DE: The deaths are more violent and graphic. There is nudity – a couple trying to join the Mile-High Club – and the language is more explicit. Actually, Bob Shaye, the president of New Line, was the one who green-lighted the additions.

BD: You have an amazing cast: Samuel L. Jackson, Julianna "Ghost Ship" Margulies, Lin "2001 Maniacs" Shaye and Nathan "Wolf Creek" Phillips, just to name a few. How did you get all these talents on board?

DE: Well, Sam Jackson was the first to sign on and he actually came to us. This film is quite a departure from his usual work. I had worked with Lin on "Cellular" and knew she would be perfect as the seasoned flight attendant. Everyone else just sort of appeared after reading the script.

BD: What was your shooting schedule and what kind of budget did you have to work with?

DE: We shot for 11 weeks in Vancouver as well as doing some additional photography here in LA. The budget was in the low $30 million range.

BD: This may seem like an obvious question but were those real snakes on that set?

DE: Yes, we had over 500 real, non-venomous snakes as well as some CGI snakes. The trailer, which is currently making the rounds on the Internet, is rather rough. The shot of the woman with the snake coming out of her blouse needs tweaking as do a few others – when we're finished with post, all of the snakes will be photo-real. Our visual effects teams, Hybrid, led by Erik Henry, and Asylum FX, are hard at work.

BD: The film is set for a wide theatrical release on August 18th. When can we expect to start seeing commercials as well as major PR for "Snakes" (not that it needs any)?

DE: Trailers should begin running in May – we really want to get the average American aware of this film. Horror fans are already on top of it.

BD: Are you amazed by the hype surrounding "Snakes"?

DE: It's crazy and overwhelming and good! The title got people talking, then Sam Jackson mentioned it on "Letterman". It's in "Newsweek" magazine this week and will be in "Entertainment Weekly" next week. "NPR" has even mentioned it. There are also sites all over the Internet selling every kind of "Snakes" merchandise you can imagine. People are either going to "get" this movie and really embrace it or they won't.

BD: Are there more horror films in your future?

DE: I am currently looking for my next film – I actually have a script in my hands right now. I will do what I think I can do well and I would definitely do another horror movie. I would also love to direct an action film.

BD: What are some of your favorite horror movies?

DE: Wow. That's a tough one. I love horror...let me think. I really enjoy the old Hitchcock films. "Misery". "Psycho". I may have to get back with you on that one.

BD: What is one thing no one knows about David Ellis but you think they should?

DE: I love icy drinks. We actually have a shaved ice machine in our house.

Ich hatte für "John Wayne" gevotet - was würdet ihr gern sehen? :LOL: :icon_mrgreen: :king:

[mr. pink]

@Moonshade:

Alternativ würden Steven Seagal und Chuck Norris für ein Sequel auch nicht schlecht kommen ;)

[Moonshade]

Ich wär ja noch für Ice Cube und Jason Patric als Meister der miesen Fortsetzungen...

[mr. pink]

Okayokay, da könnt man noch einige Knallchargen aufzählen, aber wart ma erstmal ab, was da im Sommer so auf uns zukommt...

[.sixer.]

Also ich werde mir den Streifen auf jeden Fall reinziehen. Trashiger als Hai-Alarm auf Malle kann er ja eigentlich garnicht sein. Außerdem vermisse ich etwas den Charme von Billig-Produktionen aus den 70ern und 80ern wie Der weiße Killer oder Die heilige Bestie der Kumas.
