12 Most F*cked Up Movie Marketing Campaigns

10. Samual L Jackson Knows All About Your Private Life - Snakes On A Plane

Nine or so years ago a spate of people across the US started receiving strange phone calls from none other than Samuel L Jackson urging them to go see Snakes On A Plane, and in case you€™ve spent the last decade wondering why, we€™re here to finally tell you. The film had already been bolstered thanks to internet users sharing memes, videos and the like of its hilariously daft premise, but New Line Cinema teamed with VariTalk to take their marketing campaign a step further. They set up a website via which people could personalise a message pre-recorded by the Snakes On A Plane star with various details like a person€™s job or type of car and have it sent directly to their friends in the form of a phone call. Funny, but also kind of creepy thinking Samuel L Jackson knows all kinds of details about your private life.
