Well, we may have reached peak remake fever now, guys.
Yes, Sony has revealed a video of stars Jack Black and Paul Rudd revealing that next Christmas we will be treated to their big-screen reboot of Anaconda.
Word is that the movie will also star The Suicide Squad and Fast X actress Daniela Melchior and, from what I’m hearing online, will not strictly be a remake of the 90s original but rather will be about two best friends who head out into the jungle to film/recreate their favourite movie from their childhood, Anaconda, and wouldnt’ you know it, i’d imagine a real snake will appear to mess things up.
Black says in the video below: “There’s gonna be a big [frick]ing snake, and it’s gonna rip,” while Rudd adds, “You want to get scared? You want to laugh? You want to celebrate with your friends? Or maybe you’re alone and sad and have nobody, but just want to forget about that?”
The movie will be directed by The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent’s Tom Gormican and will be penned by Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F writer Kevin Etten.
Sony Pictures (with some help from the film’s leading men) have announced a Christmas 2025 release date for their upcoming Anaconda reboot, which may officially be titled The Anaconda.
What I want to know is will we see Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, Jon Voight, Eric Stoltz, Jonathan Hyde or Owen Wilson returning from the first movie? Probably not.
Watch the announcement:

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
