Jackson signs without reading script

Samuel L Jackson was so amused by the title of Snakes on a Plane that he signed up without bothering to read the script.
The Pulp Fiction star loved the idea of the movie, which features him as an assassin that intends to kill a passenger on a plane by releasing a batch of snakes, so much that he signed up after only reading the title.
Jackson explained: "I didn't even read the script - I just saw the title, 'Snakes on a Plane' and said 'Ok, good. I'm there.'
"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!"
