In the pop culture sphere, we continue to get more reboots, revivals, and re-imaginings of older properties. Some of them are great while others are, well, not the best idea. Up next is Anaconda, the 1997 film starring Ice Cube, Jennifer Lopez (a.k.a. J-Lo), and Owen Wilson as a Nat Geo film group who end up a part of a ridiculous hunter’s quest to capture a really big snake. As we all remember, it did not go well for the group as a whole. Now, according to Variety, Anaconda is getting a reboot movie with Jack Black and Paul Rudd in talks to star in it.
Tom Gormican co-wrote and will direct the new Anaconda reboot movie, which will have a comedic spin on it. Allegedly, this film will be about a group of friends who decide to deal with their mid-life crises by going to remake a beloved movie from their childhood. We will see if that’s the case but either way, the idea of Jack Black and Paul Rudd facing an anaconda is enough to make us want to see it.
