Ok, everybody, in addition to Samuel L. Jackson, I will also be sitting down with David Ellis for five minutes and with the snake wrangler (I believe it’s this guy) for five minutes. What should I ask them?

Ask Ellis if he will read the script I wrote.
Ask Sam “Pirates or Ninjas”?
Ask the snake wrangler if he’s ever handled a snake as large as Sam L Jackson’s.
If you’ll be able to actually speak to Samuel Jackson and not just say “dude you’re the fuckin man” over and over I’ll be impressed. Ask Samuel L Jackson is it important that he has fun on his movies and would he accept an assignment with a hard to work with director if the script was great but he was sure he wouldn’t enjoy making the film, just the end product.
questions for the snake handler:-
1. how did you keep the snakes calm when sam jackson walked on set?, i mean they must have been terrified of getting their heads ripped off
2. did you give any ideas of where the snakes could come out from? ie. vomit bags oxygen masks etc.
3. if you where a snake and sam jackson grabbed you and whipped you over his head yelling motherfucker, which would be the most humiliating?
4. have you ever called a snake motherfucker? and if not, why not?
5. have you ever whipped a snake over your head???
questions for david ellis:-
1. did sam jackson ever shout obsene profanity at you?
2. if he did, would you feel honoured?
3. how intense was sam on set did he seem ready to explode with rage at all the motherfucking snakes around him?
4. what woud you rather have attack you on a plane, 500 snakes ,a shark, eddie murphy and his mop handle or sam jackson?
5. if you where a snake on a plane and you had to find somewhere to attack someone from where would you hide and why?
Ahh I have an idea for an contest. Create the perfect SOAP soundtrack.
For the wrangler:
Of the species you work with, which is the hardest? Easiest? Which do you like best?
What species would you be most afraid of being on a plane with?
Do any of your snakes remind you of Samuel L. Jackson?
Early on in filming, you “lost” some snakes on the “plane.” Are you sure you found all of them?
Do you think any of the snakes in the movie will become famous? Maybe get its own show?
What do you think of Steve Erwin?
For the snake wrangler:
1. Where did he land that job?
2. How does it feel knowing that he wrangled the snakes in one of *THE* best movies of all time?
3. How many years of college did it take to get the job of “snake wrangler?”
Forget Steve Irwin–what about Austin Stevens: Snakemaster!

Ellis:
What’s next for you? A serious film, a love-comedy?

Ask Ellis if he thinks this movie will do to planes what Jaws did to swimming, or Psycho did to showers.
