Snakes on Me in Newsweek
April 2nd, 2006 at 5:39 pm

Newsweek has an article this week entitled “Snakes on a What?” (Sound familiar? Check out the right-hand column) where they called me the “ringleader” of fans on the web. I most certainly am not the ringleader, but I’ll take the attention anyway… especially because of this quote from director David Ellis at the end of the piece:

Will Brian’s red-carpet dream come true? “Absolutely,” says Ellis. “We’re gonna fly him out here.” Or maybe he should drive.

I must say, this is looking pretty good.

Update, here’s a high quality scan of the hard-copy:

I knew you’d get it. After everything they’ve done for you, it would’ve killed the publicity machine they have going for them to deny your request. Next time, ask ‘em to throw in a three-way with the Simpson sisters or something.

I saw the blurb in newsweek and came right here to see what you had to say about it!! I think you’re definitely going to get to go to your premiere! Whoo!! I think we’ll also see pictures of you on WireImage and crap. How cool will that be?

Maybe you can also go to Tokyo for the opening there, as a marketing maven. And Hong Kong and Taipei. SoaP will do well in AsiA too.

[...] I’ve gotten fourteen free t-shirts, one free hat, one free button and one free mug. A fan started petition requesting I be allowed to attend the premiere is over 1550 signatures. There are currently 51 translations of “Snakes on a Plane” into foreign languages and well over 100 poems. I’ve been interviewed by three TV crews. SnakesOnABlog.com has appeared in a large number of newspaper stories, linked to by 1139 blogs, and over 6,000 other webpages. I’ve been invited to one Comic-Con. But my goal was not to build stats. My goal was not to get free t-shirts or high hit-counts. My goal was to attend the Hollywood premiere of Snakes on a Plane. If that doesn’t come to pass, then all the rest of this work was for nothing. Read my first, second and third pleas to hear more. My goals are looking pretty good at this point. David Ellis, the director, has said that I’d be coming to the premiere in several interviews… but the quest doesn’t end until I’m standing on the red carpet. [...]
