The David R. Ellis-helmed film was created by David Dalessandro and written by Dalessandro, John Heffernan, and Sheldon Turner. In response to the internet fan base, New Line Cinema incorporated feedback from online users into its production. The film wrapped up most of its principal photography in September 2005, but anticipation for the upcoming film grew to unexpected levels, and the studio later ordered five days of additional re-shooting to raise the MPAA rating from a PG-13 to an R. However, despite the fact that the film's most notable quality was that it generated a phenomenal amount of interest on the internet, the movie surprised many after it failed to live up to expectations, with publications like the New York Times reporting that after all the \"hype Online, Snakes on a Plane is letdown at box office\" and Entertainment Weekly reporting that the film was an \"internet-only phenomenon.\"

The film is rated R by the MPAA, 15 by the BBFC and 14A by the CHVRS, due to its content of coarse language, a scene of sexuality and drug use, and intense sequences of terror and violence.

History

The storyline of the film is credited to David Dalessandro, a University of Pittsburgh administrator and first-time Hollywood writer, who came up with the concept in 1992 from a nature magazine. Dalessandro said: \"I read about the Indonesian brown tree snake climbing onto planes in cargo during World War II.\" He originally wrote the screenplay about the brown tree snake loose on a plane, titling the film Venom. He soon revised it, expanding upon the premise to include a plague of assorted poisonous snakes, then—crediting the film Alien—revising it again to include \"lots of them loose in the fuselage of a plane.\"

However, Dalessandro's third draft of Venom was turned down by 30 Hollywood studios in 1995. He lamented, \"My big foray into Hollywood. They put it on a shelf!\" However, in 1999, a producer for MTV/Paramount showed interest in the script, followed up by New Line, which took over the rights for production.

Originally, the film was going to be helmed by Hong Kong action director Ronny Yu. Jackson, who had previously worked with Yu on The 51st State, learned about the announced project in the Hollywood trade newspapers and, after talking to Yu, agreed to sign on without reading the script based on the director, storyline and allegedly the title. About two-thirds of the snakes seen in the movie were either animatronic or computer generated. However, about 450 live snakes representing about 25 different species were used, including corn snakes, mangrove snakes, milk snakes, rattlesnakes and king snakes.
