Samuel L Jackson Can't Read
Thursday, February 23, 2006
Contact Music is reporting that Samuel L Jackson was so amused by the title of his upcoming new movie Snakes on a Plane, he signed a contract to star in it without reading the script. Surprisingly, the movie is about a terrorist that releases a bunch of poisonous snakes on a plane to kill a passenger.
Jackson said: "I didn't even read the script - I just saw the title, Snakes on a Plane and said Ok, good. I'm there."
He continued with"You have got to love that. That's exactly what it is - 500 poisonous snakes released on a flight from Hawaii to Los Angeles. They are (set free) on a time release half-way there, so we can't go back, we've got to keep going. It's fun!"
You know, I wondered why some good actors do shitty movies, and now it is all coming together. If you base a movie on the title, you're an idiot. Especially if the title of the movie is as stupid as this one. He's right, though. There's no reason to read a script for a movie that you can watch 15 minutes of and get the plot.
This is going to be the worst movie ever, thus ending his good reputation. Did he read the script for Pulp Fiction? Yes! that's why it was good.
