Overview
- The Los Angeles world premiere on Dec. 13 featured Jack Black, Paul Rudd and a surprise appearance by original star Ice Cube.
- Ice Cube confirmed a brief role and said he “jumped” at the chance to return, offering an on-the-record seal of approval for the new film.
- Directed by Tom Gormican, the reimagining is a meta comedy-horror about two friends who set out to remake Anaconda and see their project turn perilous.
- Gormican said the production lost its finale location and that a rare cyclone in Australia destroyed a major set, forcing a rewritten ending during the shoot.
- Sony will release Anaconda in theaters on Dec. 25, with select markets such as India offering dubbed versions in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
