Remember Anaconda? That okay-ish creature feature from the ’90s starring Jennifer Lopez, Jon Voight, and Ice Cube? After a number of trashy sequels that skipped cinemas, the property is returning to the big screen, but this new take on it, likely led by Jack Black and Paul Rudd, isn’t what anyone was expecting.
We first heard about a reboot in the distant year of 2020, back when I was just starting to put words together in exchange for money. Evan Daugherty (Snow White and the Huntsman) was working on a script, but the entire project went silent… until now.
The Hollywood Reporter’s new report on the franchise refresh leads with Black and Rudd’s potential casting, but the most intriguing bit comes right afterwards: “Tom Gormican, who directed the Nicolas Cage meta movie The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, is co-writing with collaborator Kevin Etten and will direct the feature.”
