Gross-Out Appeal Revs up Jack Black and Paul Rudd’s Anaconda Reboot
The film follows amateur filmmakers rebooting the 1997 creature feature with a comedic take on the giant snake, starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black.
- On December 25, Sony Pictures Releasing opens Anaconda , a comedic reboot directed by Tom Gormican starring actors Paul Rudd and Jack Black.
- As a meta‑reboot, the movie frames friends remaking the 1997 Anaconda in the Amazon jungle, with Paul Rudd and Jack Black playing versions of themselves while nodding to the original starring Ice Cube and Jennifer Lopez.
- At its Los Angeles premiere on Dec. 13, co-stars Steve Zahn and Thandiwe Newton discussed working with a 100-person crew and a real enormous anaconda.
- Critics called the movie overlong and muddled, saying the action and comedy largely fail and the film wastes Paul Rudd and Jack Black’s star power; some praised Selton Mello’s supporting role.
- Reviewers noted Gormican’s concept promised bonkers satire but underdelivered, with critics describing the film as glossy and soulless, featuring noticeably artificial CGI snakes and missing indie moviemaking satire.
