"I've had it with the snakes" indeed.
fyi #2: I just learned that awesome Hong-Kong action filmmaker (Bride with White Hair) turned mediocre American horror filmmaker (Bride of Chucky, Freddy vs. Jason) Ronny Yu signed up to direct but left after budget and creative difficulties. Creative difficulties? Too many or too few snakes?
