Sam Jackson on a Plane
Published by ed May 13th, 2006 in UncategorizedWhat the heck is all of this hype about Snakes on a Plane? I love B action movies as much as anyone else, probably more so, but I am not counting down the days til this one yet.
As the lore goes, the original title of this film was Snakes on a Plane, and then it was changed by the studio execs to “Pacific Air Flight 121″. This apparently went against Jackson’s artistic integrity. He took this motherf..ng role, because it was called Snakes on a Plane. Luckily for all of us he was able to use his star power to get the name back to SOAP. Forgive me for being a skeptic, but I have no reason to think Sam Jackson has ever seen a film script he hasn’t liked.
The dude has done 90 films since 1990! Mace, even though the prequels all sucked, but you hung on for all three! Deep Blue Sea, cheesy action film, and it was great move to have you eaten by the shark (Was that in the original script?). Changing Lanes, working with Ben Affleck sounds as appealing as a root canal but still better than starring in a film with Jude Law.
Now don’t get me wrong. I think Sam Jackson is one Bad Mother F..ker. He adds that extra flavor to films that turns an ok film into a good one, kind of like adding bacon to your Wendy’s cheeseburger.
Are people really going to pack the theaters to see SOAP?
