Merrick has a big snake…
You’ve seen the footage, now read the…trailer!?
Shifty-Eyed Dog got a look at the proposed SNAKES ON A PLANE trailer, and wrote in to tell us about what he saw. He said this:
* New Line logo
* Setting up the plot –
*People boarding a plane
*Flight attendant says to Sam, “Welcome aboard Agent Flynn”
*FBI taking over first class, young guy saying he’s a witness for the FBI.
*Cuts back to Samuel L. Jackson talking to the young guy in a dark room - “Those people know who you are. If you testify it’ll put him in jail for life”
*Rest of passengers boarding plane – typical group – honeymooners, mom/kids, businessmen, etc.
All of this first half is intercut with the text:
“6 Miles above the ocean…
2 miles from land…
a trap has been set…
and there is no way out”
Countdown clock in baggage compartment. Reaches zero and a box blows open. Cat meows and hisses.
Snakes silently spreading throughout the plane – into purses, under seats, cockpit, etc.
Then the money shots begin:
snakes, snakes, and more snakes – striking at ankles, jumping at pilot, slithering up the aisles chasing passengers…
Sam taking charge and barking orders
Sam on the phone to someone: “You know all those security scenarios we ran? Well I’m smack in the middle of one.”
More snake shots
Explosions, plane door blowing out, cabin losing pressure, beverage carts crashing up the aisle
Sam: “Enough is enough! I’ve had it with these snakes!”
Second half intercut with text:
“This summer…
experience…
the height…
of fear”
Ground Control: “Somebody wanna tell me what’s going on up there?”
