‘Anaconda’ slithers into theaters Christmas 2025.
Jack Black and Paul Rudd are teaming up. This promises to be a wild ride in “Anaconda.” The film is set to slither into theaters on Christmas Day 2025. The film is directed by Tom Gormican. He is known for his meta-comedy “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.” The script is based on his co-writing with Kevin Etten. Black and Rudd’s comedic chemistry is fantastic. Gormican’s knack for blending humor and action is impressive. Together, they are sure to breathe new life into the cult classic.
The original released in 1997.
It was a surprise hit that blended horror, action, and camp. Directed by Luis Llosa, the film followed a documentary crew in the Amazon who stumble upon a giant, man-eating snake. It starred Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, Jon Voight, and Eric Stoltz. Voight’s over-the-top performance as the unhinged snake hunter Paul Serone became iconic, while the film’s practical effects and CGI snake delivered genuine thrills and laughs. Despite mixed reviews, it became a box-office success and spawned a string of sequels.
In this updated take, rumors suggest Black and Rudd play a pair of filmmakers who attempt to remake their favorite movie—only for their production to descend into chaos when a real anaconda is unleashed. From the duo’s hilarious promo tease, where Rudd describes the film as “big, scary, and a little bit ridiculous,” to Black’s remark about a live snake being fed nearby, it’s clear the pair are leaning into the absurdity of the premise.
“Anaconda” promises to deliver a mix of scares and laughs, staying true to its roots while offering a fresh comedic twist. The film marks a reunion for Black and Rudd, whose past collaborations have showcased their natural chemistry. The release date is perfectly timed for holiday crowds. It’s poised to be a blockbuster that appeals to fans of the original and newcomers alike. Whether you’re in it for the thrills, laughs, or nostalgia, this is one film you won’t want to miss.
