It may be the summer movie with more buzz than any other, despite the planned release of such blockbusters as X-Men: The Last Stand, Superman Returns, Cars, and Mission: Impossible 3, and that's because as a title, you can't do much better than Snakes on a Plane.  Screenwriter Josh Friedman, who apparently started the current Internet frenzy on the picture last August with a post on his blog about not working on the script called it 'the single greatest movie title of all time.' 

Samuel Jackson, who stars in the film, said of the title on Collider.com, 'That's the only reason I took the job:  I read the title....You either want to see that, or you don't.' 

The title has even entered the popular lexicon as an expression expressing as many as eight different meanings, including resignation, according to Urban Dictionary.  This also seems to have leapt from Friedman's blog and the phrase is now being used everywhere on the Web.  Mainstream media including Entertainment Weekly (which published the logo with which this article is illustrated) have now picked up on the buzz.

The novelization from Games Workshop's Black Flame imprint may be the only officially licensed product out there (although CafePress lists over 1500 unlicensed products).  Written by Christa Faust, it's slated for release in July in mass market paperback format at $7.99.  Given the lack of real merchandise, even for retailers that don't normally stock novelizations, this might be one to get. 

The film is scheduled to be released on August 18th.  Although prinicipal photography wrapped in September, another five days of shooting were done in March, which will take the film from PG-13 to R.  Among the scenes added was one in which Jackson utters the soon-to-be-immortal line demanded by fans, 'I want these mother******* snakes off the mother******* plane!'
