How have we survived this long without any new Snakes on a Plane news? Thankfully Samuel L. Jackson is already starting on the press circuit, even though the movie doesn’t hit theaters until August. Last week he appeared on the “Ellen Show” and the two had a little bit of fun with his upcoming movie, including Ellen’s submissions for the “Snakes on a Plane” music contest and debating how many syllables are in Sammy J.’s favorite curse word.

So why is this worth your time? Because included in Jackson’s appearance was a brief clip from the movie. Sadly, snakes only appear in behind the scenes footage, but Jackson has a nice speech that he points out later in the interview is reminiscent of a speech he made in Deep Blue Sea shortly before becoming shark food.

Users of YouTube have thankfully made Jackson’s stint on “Ellen” available. Click here to find links to the clips on our preview page video section.
