Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the Amazon…
Doug (Jack Black) and Griff (Paul Rudd) have been best friends since they were kids, and have always dreamed of remaking their all-time favourite movie: the cinematic “classic” Anaconda. When a midlife crisis pushes them to finally go for it, they head deep into the Amazon to start filming. But things get real when an actual giant anaconda appears, turning their comically chaotic movie set into a deadly situation. The movie they’re dying to make? It might just get them killed……
A novel approach to a remake – and, honestly, a good way to get this guilty pleasure of a series back into theatres – Anaconda, directed by Tom Gormican (The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent), and co-starring Thandiwe Newton, Steve Zahn and Daniela Melchior, will slither its way into theatres this Holiday season, arriving on Australian screens on Boxing Day, December 26th.
