Jackson battles snakes on a plane

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 15 (UPI) -- Actor Samuel L. Jackson says his next thriller, "Pacific Air Flight 121," will be released under its working title, "Snakes on a Plane."

"We're going back. It's not 'Flight 121,'" Jackson told Zap2it.com Monday. "It's like, come on. You either want to see this movie or you don't. 'Snakes on a Plane.' There's no mystery to that."

In the film, Jackson plays an FBI agent transporting a murder witness from Hawaii to Los Angeles.

"In the middle of the ocean, this crate time-releases and there's 500 poisonous snakes in there and they scatter out all over the plane," he said. "We can't go back and we've got to go forward. So it's us battling snakes to L.A."

Jackson said it was a nice change working with his reptilian co-stars.

"You don't have to think about it. There's snakes. I get to spend six and a half weeks going to set every day going, 'Ah! Ah! Oh! Ow!' I don't have to go in every day and figure out the dramatic purpose of this particular scene."
