Anaconda, directed by Tom Gormican and written by Kevin Etten and Tom Gormican, is a new version of the cult 1997 feature film. The remake is a blend of action, thriller and humor, starring Paul Rudd, Jack Black and Daniela Melchior. The story revolves around two childhood friends who unwillingly embark on a perilous adventure in the heart of the Amazon, confronted by a gigantic anaconda.
The first trailer promises a tense, spectacular atmosphere, but also hints at a quirky tone thanks to the two lead actors.
Anaconda will be released in cinemas from December 31, 2025.
Synopsis: Doug (Jack Black) and Griff (Paul Rudd) are childhood friends who have always shared a crazy dream: to make their own remake of their favorite film, the cult classic ANACONDA. In the midst of a mid-life crisis, they finally decide to take the plunge, and find themselves filming in the heart of the Amazon. But the dream soon turns to nightmare when a giant anaconda appears and turns their already chaotic set into a death trap.
The first Anaconda, released in 1997, impressed audiences with its blend of adventure, survival and animal suspense. The choice of Paul Rudd and Jack Black to play two friends in search of an impossible shoot adds a comic and meta dimension to the story, contrasting with the very real threat of the giant snake. Daniela Melchior, revealed in The Suicide Squad, completes the cast of this ambitious project.
Beyond the confrontation with the creature, the film tackles issues of friendship, coming-of-age and childhood dreams confronted with reality. The tone oscillates between epic adventure and black comedy, in a wild setting reminiscent of the hostile Amazon. These ingredients should appeal to fans of survival stories and wilderness thrillers.
This feature-length film could appeal to a number of audiences: those nostalgic for the 1997 film, those fond of survival films and animal attacks, and also fans of comedies starring famous duos. Fans of Paul Rudd, famous for Ant-Man, and Jack Black, star of Jumanji or School of Rock, should particularly appreciate this original proposition that combines suspense and humor.
The project combines an experienced comedy director, Tom Gormican(Un Talent en Or Massif), with an animal thriller universe. The production thus aims to modernize a cult work while offering a more satirical and contemporary tone. The mix of action, adventure and humor makes Anaconda one of the most visible end-of-year releases.
