Making 'Ghost Ship' Much Scarier Than 'Snakes on a Plane,' Says Margulies
Julianna Marguiles found filming with reptiles on Snakes On A Plane easy compared to swimming with sharks in Ghost Ship. Marguiles spent weeks in Australian waters while filming the spooky thriller Down Under in 2002, without realizing she was only meters away from the carnivorous fishes.
She says, "'Ghost Ship' was much scarier because we were in Australia, and no one really cared. I swam in the water all night long and the next day there was this huge thing in the newspaper that said 'Ex-ER star risks her life for movie. Did they not tell her about the shark attack?'

Snakes Multiplied During 'Snakes on a Plane'
Samuel L. Jackson insists the snakes used in his new film Snakes On A Plane had a great time during the shoot because their numbers increased significantly by the end of the movie. The star shot the majority of the movie with computed-generated snakes, but hundreds of real snakes were needed during portions of the film. And they quickly acquainted themselves and produced offspring.
He explains, "Interestingly enough, we could make this movie and we really didn't have to be around snakes. Even though we had 400 snakes on set with us. When we started we had 400 snakes - by the time we ...

Samuel L. Jackson Tortured Snakes as a Child
Samuel L. Jackson had no problem working on new movie Snakes On A Plane because he regularly tortured snakes when he was a child. The star grew up in rural Chattanooga, Tennessee, and was completely comfortable with the reptiles because he taught himself to differentiate poisonous species from harmless ones.
He explains, "I grew up in the country. When we were kids if we saw a snake, the snake was in a lot more trouble than we were! We'd chase it down and kind of do stuff to it. We knew the difference between the poisonous snakes and the non-poisonous snakes. We grew up around copper ...

Snakes Ordered To Stay 20 Feet From Samuel L. Jackson
Samuel L. Jackson had a clause in his contract for high-flying thriller Snakes On A Plane that insisted all reptiles on the set were kept at least 20 feet from him at all times. The star plays a federal agent onboard a plane full of slithering venomous reptiles and made sure he was safe throughout filming.
He says, "My agent was insistent: 'No snakes within 20 feet.' In the beginning they were talking about having rattlesnakes they had taken the venom sacks out of them but I was like, 'Hell no. That don't work for me.' I don't have a fear of snakes... When I grew up in the country, wh...
