Oh I remember writing this post and having a good old laugh about it. The blurb for the movie is ridiculous, however looks like I might be laughing on the other side of my movie ticket.
Coming Soon is carrying the news from Variety that they’ve renamed the film to Flight 121, and there are a few people associated with it that might not make is such a laughable entity.
The film was originally written by John Heffernan and most recently rewritten by Sebastian Gutierrez (Gothika).
Okay, does bode not too badly for the scripting.
…to be directed by David Ellis (Final Destination 2, Cellular)
Now that’s not too shabby either.
Samuel L. Jackson is in talks to star…
No way! Oh I could be eating that post at this rate. Jackson doesn’t tend to star in too many stinkers. This has gone to a completely laughable one liner to a possible big starring movie with a decent script and direction. Here’s the current write up:
Jackson plays an FBI agent on a long quest to bring a ruthless mob boss to justice. He finds a witness and takes him on a commercial flight from Hawaii to L.A. Trouble is, the mob boss has loaded the cargo with all kinds of venomous snakes.
Not really that different from the original post blurb. I presume Jackson signed up either because there are good golf courses where he is filming or that the script is actually pretty good!
