The Anaconda franchise returns to the big screen with meta reboot Anaconda on Christmas Day, and the film has received its official rating from the MPA this week.<\/p>\n

Anaconda (2025) starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black is officially rated PG-13 for \u201cviolence\/action, strong language, some drug use and suggestive references.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the new movie looks to dial up the comedy, the original Anaconda was actually also rated PG-13 back in 1997. That film received its PG-13 rating for \u201cintense adventure violence, and for brief language and sensuality,\u201d which isn\u2019t that much different from the new movie.<\/p>\n

In this year\u2019s Anaconda, slithering into theaters on December 25, Rudd and Black play best friends who attempt to remake Anaconda\u00a0and end up in their own real-life horror movie.<\/p>\n

Watch the official trailer for the\u00a0Anaconda\u00a0reboot below.<\/p>\n

Thandiwe Newton\u00a0(\u201cWestworld\u201d),\u00a0Steve Zahn\u00a0(\u201cSilo,\u201d\u00a0Joy Ride),\u00a0Selton Mello,\u00a0Ione Skye\u00a0(Say Anything, Haunt),\u00a0and\u00a0Daniela Melchior\u00a0(The Suicide Squad) also star.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0Anaconda\u2018s big screen return, \u201cBest friends Doug and Griff have always dreamed of remaking their all-time favorite movie: the cinematic classic,\u00a0Anaconda.\u00a0But 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tom Gormican\u00a0(The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent) is scripting and directing.<\/p>\n

The original film was directed by Luis Llosa, and it featured an ensemble cast including Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, Jon Voight, Eric Stoltz, Owen Wilson and Danny Trejo.<\/p>\n

In the 1997 movie, a film crew is taken hostage by an insane hunter, who forces them along on his quest to capture the world\u2019s largest \u2013 and deadliest \u2013 snake.<\/p>\n

The movie ended up spawning three sequels between 2004 and 2009, and the\u00a0Anaconda\u00a0franchise more recently\u00a0battled the\u00a0Lake Placid\u00a0franchise<\/a>\u00a0in a 2015 crossover.<\/p>\n
