In Anaconda,\u00a0Doug (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.<\/p>\n
However, things get real when an actual giant anaconda appears, turning their comically chaotic movie set into a deadly situation. The movie they\u2019re dying to make? It might just get them killed.<\/p>\n
The first trailer and poster for Anaconda have been unleashed (via FearHQ.com<\/a>), and the former reveals\u00a0more about\u00a0Doug and Griff’s disastrous journey to the Amazon.\u00a0<\/p>\n After their original “giant” snake is inadvertently killed by Rudd’s character, this group finds themselves being hunted by a giant snake. The result is a fun horror-comedy mashup that’s very meta and very much what we’d expect from the filmmaker behind\u00a0The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent,\u00a0Tom Gormican.\u00a0<\/p>\n The movie’s titular beast is only glimpsed here, but it looks like a suitably formidable, terrifying opponent for the Ant-Man and A Minecraft Movie stars. We’d bet on Rudd and Black having a lot of fun on the upcoming press tour, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n “It’s a genuine kick in the ass,”\u00a0Rudd recently said of the movie.\u00a0“It was a clever script, and the meta angles of it were appealing to me. I was a big fan of The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, and the tone of this and that seemed to live in the same world.”<\/p>\n Black says it was\u00a0“so fun”\u00a0to team up with Rudd, explaining,\u00a0“It was the main reason I wanted to do the movie. I\u2019m a huge fan of Paul\u2019s work. Dude is f***ing hilarious. And a sweet pea to boot!”\u00a0He also teased that\u00a0Anaconda\u00a0is an\u00a0“exciting mix of comedy and horror,” saying moviegoers should “buckle up for the thrill ride of the season \u2014 Anaconda is coming!”<\/p>\n Written by Tom Gormican & Kevin Etten, produced by Brad Fuller, \u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bAndrew Form, \u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bKevin Etten, \u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bTom Gormican, and executive produced by Samson M\u00fccke, Anaconda stars\u00a0Jack Black, \u200bPaul Rudd, \u200bSteve Zahn, \u200bThandiwe Newton, \u200bDaniela Melchior, and \u200bSelton Mello.\u00a0<\/p>\n Anaconda arrives in theaters this Christmas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
