Ever wonder what Ryan Atwood from The OC would do on an airplane full of deadly snakes? Me neither. But according to Jam! Showbiz, Benjamin McKenzie has been cast in Flight 121 (formerly titled, sigh, Snakes on a Plane), a thriller starring Samuel Jackson as a special agent who accidentally opens up a crate of venomous snakes on a Trans-Pacific flight. You just know the flight attendants will get bitchy about that. Mr. McKenzie will play a novice pilot who we’ll assume battles the snakes with overly theatrical eye-darting and clenched-teeth rage.
If any of this sounds familiar, it’s because the story is a complete rip-off of an obscure Saturday Night Live skit (2/7/98) where a pack of cobras kill everyone on an airplane. I imagine, however, that Flight 121 will not feature a long monologue by a snake at its climax. Nevertheless, we’re always happy to see actors from our favorite shows go off and try to make it big in silly movies. Good luck Ben! Don’t forget your floatation device!

I’m sorry, that is the most ridiculous plot I have ever heard. Ever.
this is absurd. if the snakes got out of their pressure and temperature controlled berth, and slither up to the passenger deck, they would probably freeze when crossing through the unheated cargo deck.
second, the aircraft would be a double aisle plane. not single aisle…i just dont want people to me mislead. snake movies are VERY RELEVANT AND THAT IS A FACT!
jash- your point reminds me of a random story. once i was at this very low class pharmacy waiting to have my perscription to be filled and an employee was telling his co-worker about how he had this pet snake and he went away for the long weekend, and then he came back and the snake was frozen. then he said “I boiled the snake hoping to revive him, since snakes are cold blooded, but he just fell apart”. i never though I could feel sorry for a snake until then.
Random story but just thought the internet should hear about it. Entertainment Weekly commented on this movie a few weeks ago as a film that should never have made it out of the drawing room. Lucky us that the crapmachine is going ahead with the project anyway.
I remember the SNL skit. It was mildly funny for the first 15 seconds and then went downhill fast (like so many SNL skits.) The fact that this movie is trying to be a legitimate thriller that takes itself seriously means it should be good for more laughs than the SNL skit. (Not that I’d pay any money for it. But when it comes on cable at 2:00 am, as it is destined to, I might just watch for a few minutes.)
I refuse to belive this is an actual movie.
I will now strike this from my memory…
I just want a big version of the picture–so cute, a boy and his snake.
love the paula abdul song. paula is my girl! well at least she was when i was 9.
