Snakes on a Plane: The One-Sheet
UNIVERSAL REMOTE
The poster on the left is the official American one-sheet for Snakes on a Plane. The one on the right is the official French poster. Without a doubt, I like the French on better. I especially love how Fat Albert is sitting there calmly watching a garter snake slither across his arm while everyone on the other side of the aisle is screaming bloody murder. If you're going to throw all your cards on the table and announce to your audience that the movie is completely tongue-in-cheek, then this is the way to do it. The American one doesn't even have a snake on it for God's sake! I can imagine the discussions among the suits at New Line and some sort of lame "not everyone likes snakes and they may be turned off by seeing them on the poster" argument. Uhh buddy, the movie is called Snakes on a Plane. I don't think they're going to be coming no matter how many snakes they see in the advertising. Personally, I liked the way they undersold the premise with the teaser poster but if I had to pick, I like this unofficial T-shirt best.Samuel L. Jackson was nominated for an Oscar in 1994. That seems like a long time ago.

anyone watch the colbert report at all? he references the movie at least once per week.
his best was a 4 minute rant about how gay marraige would lead to people marrying animals, such as snakes. after much discussion of the man/snake unholy union, he talked about the honeymoon, which would have to be in driving distance because...
"you don't want no snakes on no mother $&#*ing plane!"
Thanks fot he link Monocle. I love the shot about halfway through of SLJ slapping five with another passenger.
"Way to kill that motherf$%king snake, man!"
