Anaconda Reboot Sees Jack Black And Paul Rudd Attempt Their Own Anaconda Reboot – Watch The Trailer

It's a question philosophers, scientists, and movie buffs alike have been pondering since 1997: how do you remake Anaconda? The answer, according to The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent filmmaker Tom Gormican, is actually apparently quite simple — you make a movie about making a remake of Anaconda and you stick Jack Black, Paul Rudd, Steve Zahn, and Thandiwe Newton in it. Of course. The result, if the freshly dropped first trailer for Gormican's newest meta comedy offering is anything to go by at least, may actually be another so-mad-it's-kinda-genius joint. Check out the creature feature comedy and its whopping big snake below;

If the prospect of Luis Llosa's Jon Voight and J-Lo starrer being given a sort of middle-aged Son Of Rambow treatment doesn't do anything for you, then you'll probably want to give Gormican's Anaconda reboot a wide berth. But if that actually sounds like your idea of a good time (we're certainly not averse to the idea), then there's plenty of promise in this first trailer: namely, Black and Rudd finally getting to tear it up together properly after sharing the screen briefly in Walk Hard and Year One. And also, y'know, there's a great big ol' snake menacing our amateur would-be moviemakers amid the sweltering jungle heat. What more could you want, eh?

Here's the official synopsis for the Gormican and Kevin Etten penned film: "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......"

We'll find out whether Anaconda's reboot is hiss-terical or if Gormican's meta take on the material suffers from reptile dysfunction when the movie hits cinemas this Christmas. In the meantime, there's only one thing to be done. No, not rewatch Anaconda — God, no! Alexa, play 'Anaconda' by Nicki Minaj.
