How much money did Samuel L Jackson make for doing Snakes on a Plane?

Question

We have a bet here at work and its time to find out who is right.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

How much money? Not enough. What a stupid idea for a movie.

Answer 2

I think that a lot of actors have little or no choice to star in such lame films as "snakes on a plane" It might be something he agreed to do so that he could do a better film later on, or so that he could be a bigger part of something else. IE: director or producer of some other film he does care about. How many times have we seen good actors, or at least well known actors star in crappy hollywood fluff movies? They don't do anything for the actor's career, so there must be another reason for wasting good time on bad films. I think besides the paycheque, he is getting something out of it that the public doesn't realize. Wait and see what else comes out in the next year. If he has some vested personal interest in a better movie later on through the same company, then you have your answer as to why he did this film. George Clooney has said that he has done plenty of bad films that he didn't want to do, but because he did them, the studios backed him on films he DID want to do like "good night and good luck" as well as others. It's one of those "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" situations. There are plenty of polotics behind the screen in hollywood that people hear nothing about. Take that into consideration.

Answer 3

He probably will make the most money when it comes out, he probably didn't get paid as much as he usually would but is going to get a portion of the ticket sales, at least that's what I would have done.

Answer 4

Are you kidding..he probably had to pay the producers just to star in it...lol

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7
