The reimagining of Anaconda has added Thandiwe Newton and Steve Zahn to the cast.
The first Anaconda film, featuring Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, Jon Voight, and Owen Wilson, premiered back in 1997. This movie led to a series of sequels: Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004), Anaconda 3: Offspring (2008), and Anacondas: Trail of Blood (2009). Additionally, there was even a crossover movie titled Lake Placid vs. Anaconda that came out in 2015.
A fresh, revamped take on “Anaconda” is currently being developed by Sony Pictures. Earlier reports revealed that Jack Black, Paul Rudd, along with Daniela Melchior from “The Suicide Squad,” are set to appear in this upcoming film.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Newton (from Westworld) and Zahn (The White Lotus) are the latest additions to the film’s cast. They will portray two childhood friends who embark on a doomed journey alongside Rudd and Black. Furthermore, Selton Mello has been selected for the role of a Brazilian animal handler, while Ione Skye is set to play the wife of Black’s character.
What is the new Anaconda movie about?
As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, the upcoming film centers around a group of friends grappling with mid-life dilemmas as they attempt to recreate their beloved movie from their youth. However, their journey deep into the rainforest takes an unexpected turn when they find themselves battling against nature’s fury, colossal serpents, and ruthless criminals for their very survival.
In the movie, Black takes on the role of a former director, whereas Rudd assumes the character of an actor who had a run on a police drama series. However, as time goes by, he realizes that his aspirations for Hollywood success are becoming more elusive.
Tom Gormican and Kevin Etten collaborated on writing the script for the upcoming Anaconda movie, with Gormican set to direct it as well. This marks Gormican’s third directorial venture, following That Awkward Moment in 2014 and The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent in 2022.
Anaconda will be released in United States theaters on December 25, 2025, from Sony Pictures.
