WHY isn't this already out (or at least a torrent).

Dumbest thing ever. The name is what made people want to watch it.

I think it'd be a mistake to change the title, but I really don't care. When you get right down to it, the movie is still about the fact that there are Snakes. On. A. Plane.

Headline made me snicker

If they change the title, I will not see the movie.

gtv42: If they change the title, I will not see the movie.


Ditto.

New Line...you've got internet cache now...don't blow it.

S.I.M.P.

Snakes in my pants, heheeheeeee

::snert::

I loathe those marketing nit-wits. They could ruin anything. Them and Renny Harlin.

I must have missed it. What is the deal with the name of the movie?

AWaP the name of the movie is Snakes On A **motherfarking** Plane! I mean that is the epitome of awesome.

I don't remember where I heard or read this, but this isn't the first time they wanted to change it and apparently Sam Jackson said he wouldn't do the movie if they did.

Paryb: Snakes On A **motherfarking** Plane

Ah. Thanks.

Damn, if they do then I will fully excercise my rights to NOT illegally download it! KEEP THE TITLE!

/WE GOT MUTHERFARKIN' SNAKES!

Paryb: AWaP the name of the movie is Snakes On A **motherfarking** Plane! I mean that is the epitome of awesome.

No, the name of the movie is Snakes on a plane.

New Line wants to change it to S.O.A.P.

Put me down as "not going to see the movie if it's renamed".

Seriously, I don't normally go to movies. So renaming it will surely mean lost revenue.

I was too distracted by the page to even read the article...

Dont worry, they're not changing it, the IMDB thing is just BS.


Also, if they changed it, it would prove that their marketing department doesn't just have their heads in the sand, but the entire group works in a concrete bunker 50 miles below the surface of egypt with only a small tube to send out pigeons with movie titles tied to them.

SERIOUSLY, google snakes on a plane, has there ever been this much excitement this far ahead of the release of a non-franchise B movie like this?

Snakes on a plane is the buzz of the internet! There is no such thing as bad publicity in Hollywood. They would be stupid to change the name after so much interest in it has already been created without so much as a real trailer.

S.O.A.P. starred Billy Crystal and that guy from Benson. Keep it Snakes on a motherfarking plane.

Been disproven, New Line said somewhere (I think it was called Snakes on a Blog) that they weren't changing the name of the movie. No worries.

Snake 'n Bacon? Sssssss

\obscure?

I'll join the chorus: New Line, if you change the name, I will not see it. I will not buy the DVD. I will not watch it on the remotest cable channel.

S.O.A.P.? That type of thing only worked for M*A*S*H*. New Line...keep the title as "Snakes On A Plane." The movie is already going to be silly, might has well have a silly title as well.

Isn't that fat black kid in this movie? Keenan or something?

THAT's why I won't be seeing it.

Just can't stand that guy.

/one of the reasons I don't watch SNL anymore, too

This is bullshiat, i remember reading Sam would walk out on the movie if they changed the title.

CHANGE THE NAME AND I WONT WATCH!

Name one movie, other than Monty Python and the Holy Grail, that summed everything up in the title, other than Snakes On A Plane. Please. I'm trying. (I'm also kinda drunk.)

Movies these days are all about The Big Idea.

There it is in 120 point type. SNAKES ON A PLANE.

/leave 'em alone.

so,,,what's it about?

Whoa, nice rack.


What was this thread about again?


/seriously will boycott snakes on a plane if they change the name.

Rename it? Sam Jackson says no, and there ain't a GOT-DAMN thing they can do about it!

S.O.A.P. is stupid. Stick to your guns and call the dman thing Snakes On A Motherfarking Plane or don't release it at all. Man up, New Line!

one of the reasons I don't watch SNL anymore, too

I stopped watching SNL when John Belushi left so he could follow a career in being dead.

Would "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" have worked at all if they had clled it "Mason and Lois", "Puberty Love", or worst of all, "Soap"? I don't think so. Keep the name. "Snakes On A Plane" will be bigger than that flick about the ship hitting the iceburg!

How about: "Legless Reptiles on a Flying Horseless Carriage"

Nobody's watching this movie, no matter what they say. 1.6 mil the first weekend... out of the theaters by the 3rd. But you gotta admit this is good publicity.

ok ok more relevant post

Sam Jackson on "Snakes On A Plane"

We have to take our cues from Sam Jackson. If he shuns the new title, so should we.

They had best not even farking consider changing the name, or they will lose my (and countless others) money.

Let this be the last time anyone EVER mentions Monty Python and the Holy Grail alongside a movie like Snakes On A Plane. Unless you're saying something like, "Snakes on a Plane is a terrible movie, in stark contrast to truly great movies, such as Monty Python and the Holy Grail."

Even then, it's frowned upon.

Best to just never talk about the two at the same time.

I dig the honesty. Doesn't pretend to be anything but snakes on a plane.

I'm not going to see that movie no matter what the name is.

Uncle!

k, so this speculation on this blog post is prompted by the fact that IMDB lists the title as S.O.A.P. with corroboration from another blog post that NL execs wanted to change it before. But the official site still says "Snakes".

those bastards!

/get serious
//seriously

Snake's on a plane? I thought he used that little black box to nullify all technology in the whole world!

/Plisssssssskin

Hell I'm going to see this mutherfarkin' movie no matter what it's called. This is why I have netflix. On the other hand, if you go to a theatre and pay for a ticket, even if it's called "Snakes on a Plane" you have mutherfarkin' mental problems.

Wait so this is actually a real movie... I thought it was just the newest fark cliche.

They're snakes!

On a MUTHERfarkING PLANE

SOAP? They want to take one of the best titles Evar and rename it SOAP?

Lame, lame, lame, lame, LAME! - to quote the Incredibles.

I think that Ad exes have ruined so many good things with bad marketing. An example would be Lake Placid. Come on, it's got Betty White saying 'If I had a dick, this is where I'd tell you to suck it.' And they billed it as a horror movie instead of a comedy/horror movie about a giant alligator.

-- The Cow disappoints me.

I'm waiting for the adult version:

Trouser Snakes on a Plane

Stewardess: Coffee, Tea, or,,,OMG Whats That!
Passenger: Play the flute baby!
Stewardess: mmmf-ph!!1!

The new title will be "Vipers on a Flight"...
