Something has gone horribly wrong. There's a new poster for Snakes on a Plane, but there's a distinct lack of mother fucking snakes in the art work!
Perhaps even worse than the lack of snakes is that the poster seems almost to be parodying United 93. Now maybe that's not their intention, but if you've seen the film it's hard to look of this and not think of Paul Greengrass's brilliant 9/11 movie. Maybe it's not on purpose, but accident or not Snakes on a Plane needs to stay far far away from making light of airway terrorism or from doing doing anything besides taking place on a plane that could cause anyone to draw any sort of comparison between it and 9/11 if people are going to have any fun with it.
This is Snakes on a Plane after all. The whole point here is to be able to check our brains at the door. I don't need to be reminded of the most devastating attack on American soil in the country's history. That is not fun at all.
To see this new poster in higher res, click over to ImpAwards here. It's a low res scan off of Ebay, and hopefully a higher res version never sees the light of day. If New Line has any sense, they'll kill this leg of their marketing campaign right now.
