Paul Rudd, Jack Black star in new Anaconda reboot releasing January 2026

Paul Rudd and Jack Black star in a comedic reboot of the 1997 film "Anaconda," where their attempt to film a remake turns into a real-life survival mission.

Childhood friends Griff (Rudd) and Doug (Black), a wedding videographer and background actor respectively, embark on a journey to the Amazon to shoot their indie film remake of "Anaconda."

Their plan goes awry when they are only able to secure a loan of $9,400 and their rented snake prop unexpectedly dies, forcing them to venture deeper into the jungle to find a replacement.

The search for a new snake leads them into a dangerous encounter with a real, giant anaconda that begins hunting the group.

The film also features Steve Zahn, Thandiwe Newton, and Daniela Melchior.

This "Anaconda" reboot is slated for release in Philippine cinemas in January 2026.
