COMING SOON Anaconda (12/25/25)

Columbia Pictures is hoping to squeeze out a new Anaconda movie for the 2020s.

Jack Black and Paul Rudd are in early talks to star in a re-imagining of the 1997 horror movie that launched a mini franchise.

Tom Gormican, who directed the Nicolas Cage meta movie The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, is co-writing and directing the feature.

According to sources, the new story involves a group of friends facing mid-life crises who are remaking their favorite movie from their youth. They head to the rainforest only to find themselves into a fight for their lives against natural disasters, giant snakes and violent criminals.

It’s unclear who is playing whom. One source said Black would play the erstwhile director, a man stuck in his job as a wedding videographer, and Rudd one of the actors, an actor who did a stint on a cop show but sees his Hollywood dreams slipping further and further away. Another source said it was the other way around.
