Passengers is in talks to star Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence. The snake, however, could not be reached for comment.
What's got me excited (outside of the fact that I've been following the writer on twitter forever so I'm happy for him) is that the movie was written with these two actors in mind, so if they sign on, it should be quite fun.
I had an idea like this once upon a time and never thought it interesting enough to follow through on, so I'm quite happy to see this come together. it takes the sting off something like that when you see an idea you had being done better than you would have done.
