PAUL RUDD & JACK BLACK IN “RE-IMAGINED” VERSION OF 90’S HIT “ANACONDA”

“Anaconda”, a reimagined take on the 1997 cult horror hit, this time starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black. But don’t expect a straight remake. Directed and co-written by Tom Gormican, the film takes a meta approach, blending comedy and chaos instead of retelling the original jungle thriller.

The story follows a group of friends stuck in midlife ruts who decide to remake their favorite movie from their younger days—“Anaconda.” Jack Black plays Doug, a wedding videographer, while Paul Rudd stars as Griff, a struggling background actor. What starts as a nostalgic passion project quickly spirals into danger when their jungle adventure turns all too real.

With a supporting cast that includes Thandiwe Newton, Steve Zahn, and Daniela Melchior, this version of “Anaconda” leans into humor, self-awareness, and unexpected thrills. It’s a fresh, offbeat spin on a familiar name.

You can find the film streaming now on Netflix
