I heard he read the script and laughe at it and insisted they didn;t change a thing

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.

Christopher Walken has been in over 100 movies.
They should at least give Samuel L. Jackson half of whatever the movie makes. He caused the whole hype for this movie with his profane mouth (which is awesome). Snakes will do GREAT, because it has achieved the phenomenon that was described in The Producers. The movie is so horrible, that everyone will want to see it.

Samuel L Jackson liked the title of the movie so it couldn't have been too much seeing as Samuel L wanted to be in it

Sometimes, the point of a movie is to just have fun watching it. This movie does sound dumb, but is it entertaining? Maybe.
I like Sam Jackson. I hate snakes.... Let's see what happens when you put them together on a plane. Is that at least worth the price of admission? I think so.

I am not sure how much they offered him but I saw in an interview during the week at "Comic Con" that he actually requested the role. He is a fan of the comic book that it came from and thought it sounded like a fun role. It reminded him of films he had seen when he was a kid in the theaters and wanted to bring that feeling to audiences.

probably close to 10 million, or a percentage of the movie reciepts (which will be 6 dollars). I think Ben Stiller will eventually pass him, and Jackie Chan is in a ton of movies.
