"Sam Jackson is moving from snakes to penguins as he lends his voice to "Farce of the Penguins," a R-rated, Bob Saget-directed spoof on last year's Oscar-winning doc "March of the Penguins."
Saget is writing and directing "Farce of the Penguins," which lampoons the survival story of "March" and will follow that film's structure, lending character voices to real footage of penguins in the wild. Per Variety, "Farce" tells the story "of one bird's search for love while on a 70-mile trek with hedonistic buddies obsessed with getting laid."

Jackson will act as narrator in the vein of his "March" counterpart Morgan Freeman, but will lend his "signature" style to the pic to earn its R-rating. Jackson joins a cast that includes Saget (voicing the protagonist penguin), Dave Coulier and John Stamos (rounding out the "Full House" trifecta), Whoopi Goldberg, Harvey Fierstein, Jon Lovitz, Norm MacDonald, Mo'Nique, Carlos Mencia, Tracy Morgan, Lewis Black, Jason Alexander, Dane Cook, Gilbert Gottfried, Jason Biggs, Jamie Kennedy, Alyson Hannigan, James Belushi and Adam Duritz.

"Farce of the Penguins" is a ThinkFilm release and is set to hit theaters this summer."

I have a feeling there will be a number of movies parodying Snakes until the hilarity of the whole thing is killed by hollywood

I don't think so, because I have a feeling SOAPs tone is going to be comedic instead of trying to be serious. I mean, the producers obviously all know that everyone is seeing it as a joke.

So what's to stop other producer's not profitting from this? Creating movies as complete parodies of themselves, and disgusing them as action movies when in actual fact they are pieces of comedic art.

Maybe Snakes will be a one off. We can only hope it is, since this film is freaking cult.
