Anaconda Reboot Cast Revealed by Jack Black, Premieres December 2025

Sony Pictures is set to release a reboot of the 1997 horror film Anaconda on December 25, 2025, taking a comedic approach with stars Jack Black and Paul Rudd leading the cast. The movie follows a group of friends going through mid-life crises as they attempt to remake their favorite film, only to encounter giant snakes and other dangers in the rainforest. The full cast announcement was made in a playful song performed by Black, which also featured co-stars like Thandiwe Newton, Steve Zahn, Selton Mello, and Daniela Melchior. Directed by Tom Gormican, the script was co-written with Kevin Etten, diverging from the original film's narrative but inspired by its legacy. The original Anaconda film was a box office success despite mixed reviews, spawning several sequels and a crossover film. This reboot aims to capture a new audience while appealing to fans of the campy original.
