Paul Rudd and Jack Black in talks for reboot of creature feature Anaconda

As a long-time fan of both Paul Rudd and Jack Black, I must say that the prospect of these two comedic heavyweights taking on the roles in an Anaconda remake has me absolutely thrilled! With their knack for delivering hilarious one-liners and their undeniable charm, I can only imagine the fun they’ll have navigating through a jungle full of danger and giant snakes.


Hey there fellow gamers! Guess what I just heard? It’s not about the latest game release, but something even more thrilling – movie news! There’s a possibility that Paul Rudd and Jack Black could be teaming up for a reboot of the 1997 horror flick, “Anaconda”. That’s right, the snake-filled adventure could be making a comeback, according to a recent report from The Hollywood Reporter. I can hardly wait to see these two talented actors face off against… well, you know, a giant anaconda!

The project is currently in its early stages, with discussions revolving around it, but reports suggest that the remake will center on a group of older friends attempting to recreate one of their past favorite movies as a means to relive their youth, amidst dealing with mid-life crises. However, upon reaching their rainforest location, they find themselves embroiled in a struggle for survival against natural calamities, enormous snakes, and ruthless criminals.

It appears that two characters have been developed: one is a former director-turned-wedding-videographer who seems discontent with their current job, and the other is an actor from Hollywood who’s looking for more substantial roles than the cop series he was previously cast in. There has been conflicting information about which role Black and Rudd will play. Some sources say Black will portray the videographer, while others suggest Rudd will take on that role. However, the truth remains uncertain.

Given that we’ve spent over a year developing this project and have made adjustments to strike the right tone, it’s likely that we’ll see further refinements and changes as the project progresses and starts to take its final form.

In the movie “Anaconda,” which was first shown in 1997, featured actors like Ice Cube, Jennifer Lopez, Owen Wilson, Jon Voight, among others. This indicates that it’s not unusual to have a diverse cast of well-known Hollywood actors.

Initially panned by critics upon release, the film Anaconda has since gained cult status and has led to numerous spinoffs, sequels, and a crossover movie in 2015 titled Lake Placid vs. Anaconda. A remake of the original was recently produced in China as well.

Black and Rudd have explored the chilling world of horror previously. Black was part of the family-friendly live-action Goosebumps films and I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, while Rudd appeared in several Halloween movies. Given their comedic backgrounds, it’s likely that the Anaconda reboot will blend elements of horror and humor.

According to reports, it’s said that the anticipated revamp of Anaconda will be co-written and directed by Tom Gormican. This is the same individual who helmed the Nicolas Cage-starring film, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. Gormican has also collaborated on the script for the recent Netflix release of the latest Beverly Hills Cop movie, titled Axel F, which hit screens in July this year.
