First trailer for Anaconda reboot starring Jack Black and Paul Rudd

September 18, 2025 by Amie Cranswick

Sony Pictures Entertainment has debuted the first trailer for the comedy action horror Anaconda.

Directed by Tom Gormican, the film centres on best friends Doug (Jack Black) and Griff (Paul Rudd) whose midlife crisis inspires them to make a reboot of their favourite movie – the 1997 creature feature Anaconda – and head to the Amazon to begin filming where they experience a series of chaotic events which may just get them killed.

Joining Black and Rudd in the cast are ​Steve Zahn, ​Thandiwe Newton, Daniela Melchior, and Selton Mello. Watch the trailer below…

Doug (Jack Black) and Griff (Paul Rudd) have been best friends since they were kids, and have always dreamed of remaking their all-time favorite 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.

Anaconda arrives in cinemas this Christmas.
