In the video, an excited Jack Black announces, “Hey, what’s up, guys? We’re making a movie! Paul Rudd and Jack Black star in The Anaconda. There’s going to be a big snake, and he’s going to rip !”

Paul Rudd said with his characteristic wit, “You want to be scared. You want to laugh. You want to celebrate with your friends. Or maybe you’re alone, feeling sad, but just want to forget about it.” Anaconda is coming out Christmas 2025.”

Behind the camera, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent director Tom Gormican will direct this Columbia Pictures venture and co-write the screenplay with Kevin Ayton. Although plot details and the roles of the lead characters remain under wraps, the mystery only adds to the excitement.

For those wondering, this is not a remake of the 1997 cult classic Anaconda. That film starred Jennifer Lopez, Owen Wilson and Ice Cube as a National Geographic crew trapped by Jon Voight’s unruly hunter and a terrifying giant snake. The new Anaconda promises a fresh spin, filled with scares, laughs and a lot of drama.
