Snakes on a Blog!

If you haven't heard of the movie "Snakes on a Plane," starring Samuel L. Jackson, you haven't been reading blogs. The movie won't be released until the summer, but the early buzz online is hard to miss.

Jackson stars as FBI agent Nelville Flynn, who is accompanying a key mob trial witness on a flight from Hawaii to Los Angeles. And, well, there are snakes on the plane. The storyline is rather simple, but perhaps that’s the brilliance of it, bloggers say.

Samuel L. Jackson, and the mere notion of snakes on a plane have burst the movie through the blogosphere.

In fact, the movie has generated so much attention from bloggers that New Line Cinema went back for five more days of shooting months after it was complete to bring the movie from a PG-13 rating to an R rating to meet fans’ expectations. Movie producers were able to capitalize on its built-in audience, months before it even had a finished product.
