In the pop culture sphere, we continue to get more reboots, revivals, and re-imaginings of older properties. Some of them are great while others are, well, not the best idea. Up next is Anaconda, the 1997 film starring Ice Cube, Jennifer Lopez (a.k.a. J-Lo), and Owen Wilson as a Nat Geo film group who end up a part of a ridiculous hunter’s quest to capture a really big snake. As we all remember, it did not go well for the group as a whole. Now, Anaconda is getting a reboot movie with Jack Black and Paul Rudd starring in it and, thanks to People Magazine, we now have our first look photos of this wacky adventure.
Tom Gormican co-wrote and will direct the new Anaconda reboot movie, which will have a comedic spin on it. This film will be about friends Doug and Griff who decide to deal with their mid-life crises by going to remake a beloved movie from their childhood. But when a real giant snake slithers into the picture, they realize they could absolutely die. Honestly, the idea of Jack Black and Paul Rudd facing an anaconda is enough to make us want to see it.
The Anaconda reboot film will hit theaters on December 25, 2025.
