Snakes On A Plane (the movie)
Status: Seems to be real
When word got out that New Line Cinema was producing a movie titled Snakes On A Plane, starring Samuel Jackson, some people, assuming that no major studio would actually create a movie that stupid, thought it had to be a hoax. The minimalist plot outline (with bad grammar) added fuel to these suspicions: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.
The hoax theory got a further boost when New Line decided not to launch an official website for the film. But now production photos from the set have been released, and Samuel Jackson has spoken publicly about it (refuting suggestions that the studio was going to rename the movie Pacific Air Flight 121), thereby tilting the balance in favor of the movie being real. I, for one, am looking forward to seeing it. But then, I'm easily entertained. Some of the sequel titles that people are inventing are pretty funny, such as Snakes on a Plane 2: Snakes on a Boat or Snakes on a Plane 9: Bears on a Train. According to the Urban Dictionary, The movie's title has also already entered popular speech as an expression of existential resignment:
snakes on a plane: A simple existential observation that has the same meaning as "Whaddya gonna do?" or "Shit Happens". Taken from the upcoming Samuel L. Jackson movie of the same name, and immortilised by screenwriter Josh Friedman on his blog post of Wednesday, August 17, 2005.

I can't believe Sam Jackson would get involved in a project like this. I will hang my head in shame for him. I'm going to my room. Weeping.

For some reason, I'm reminded of the Saturday Night Live skit with the cobras...

Here's a couple I made using the template (the second one is an X-Files referance):
I've been waiting all my life to see snakes on a plane. Someday they'll be allowed to travel like everyone else in real life, but untill then at least we can see the scenario brought to life on the big screen.

Reminds me of the Joe Pesci career-killing "Eight Heads in a Duffel Bag". Another odd project which caught my eye recently was John Woo's forthcoming version of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe:

Never mind who's going to be James Bond. I want to know who's going to be Skeletor.

This was on Fark awhile ago. I didn't believe it.

Probably a self-fulfilling marketing prophecy.
