Snakes on a Plane in a Theater

It's becoming more and more apparent that you can't be an interwebs commentator sort of guy without talking about the upcoming epic Snakes on a Plane. I've been following it since Webcest's own Jeffrey Rowland broke the story, but I have not said anything about it here. So rather than showing up late to the party by discussing Snakes on a Plane I'm going to skip ahead in true preprocrastinator style and give you the lowdown on the totally awesome inevitable Snakes on a Plane SEQUELS!

It's important to remember that sequels, especially action/horror sequels, have to try to top the original film in terms of location, scale, and what's at stake. Usually with a lower budget, too. You can't just go from having Snakes on a Plane to having Snakes on a Boat or Snakes on a Bus. Well, maybe if they wanted to film a prequel you could have Snakes on a Bus: They've Got a Plane to Catch, but I digress.

My top-secret Hollywood insider info tells me that some of the snakes from the first movie survive by hiding amidst the landing gear. After the plan lands at a major international hub they get out and hide in the baggage claim area where they reproduce and set free other snakes being shipped all over the world. Thus opens the startling follow up, Snakes on a Plane 2: Snakes on Several Planes, This time it's Terminal!

Then, after having established Snakes on a Plane as an action/horror franchise they will have to go the inevitable sequel route of so many other horror movies such as Friday the 13th, Hellraiser, Critters, Leprechaun, and probably others. That's right, snakes are set loose on the first tourist flight of Virgin Galactic and we get the mega-blockbuster Snakes on a Plane 3: Snakes in Space! On a Spaceplane. Which is Also in Space.

In continuing with the obvious naming trend of Snakes on a Plane which made it such an internet darling, and with the general trend of most franchises after a few sequels the next one outwould have to be Snakes on a Plane 4: Release Direct to Video
