Early publicity
The film generated much pre-release interest on the Internet due to its absurdist title and premise. Much of the publicity Snakes on a Plane has received is due to a blog entry made by film industry insider Josh Friedman, who had been offered a chance to work on the script. <1> The casting of popular actor Samuel L. Jackson further increased anticipation. Julianna Margulies had also been associated with the project, but her character was written out in a later draft of the screenplay. Ronny Yu was originally slated to direct and spoke enthusiastically about the project before leaving due to budget disputes and "creative differences." He was replaced by David R. Ellis.

At some point, the film's working title was altered to Pacific Air Flight 121, to the consternation of many. In August 2005, a perturbed Samuel L. Jackson told an interviewer, "We're totally changing that back. That's the only reason I took the job: I read the title." <2> The film was soon reverted to the working title of Snakes on a Plane. However, on March 2nd 2006, IMDB reported that the film had been renamed S.O.A.P. (standing for Snakes On A Plane)<3>.


Internet meme

A widely circulated fake promotional image for Snakes on a PlaneSnakes on a Plane has quickly become an Internet meme due to its announcement on Slashdot and other Internet portals. The phrase is often used on Internet forums as a phrase to indicate that a given topic is nonsensical. With creative uses of capital letters and bold or italic text, the title can be manipulated to reflect surprise, horror, or absurdity, among other things. A parody can be found in the flash movie "The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny" in which Samuel L. Jackson is attacked by snakes. The meme is often interspersed with images of Samuel L. Jackson reprising his role as Mace Windu and quoting lines from both the Star Wars series and Pulp Fiction (both starring or prominently featuring Jackson). In March of 2006, a fan "trailer" emerged: "Snakes on a Plane: Rough Cut", filmed with a cardboard cutout of Jackson.

You swine. You vulgar little maggot.

Hold it wrong thread

:evilgrin:

Yes apparently is actually is real. One of the cast appears to be the SNL guy who played Fat Albert. I guess this isn't meant to be a parody (I don't really know) but it looks like it is all ready a joke in many ways.
