Overview
- Sony’s final trailer leans into the movie’s self-referential approach and now openly features Ice Cube appearing as himself.
- First reactions from the world premiere call the film a surprisingly funny, meta jungle comedy with standout chemistry between Jack Black and Paul Rudd, though a few viewers were unconvinced.
- Director Tom Gormican reframes the 1997 creature feature as a satire about friends trying to remake their favorite movie who get entangled with a real giant anaconda.
- The ensemble includes Thandiwe Newton, Steve Zahn, Daniela Melchior, Selton Mello and Ione Skye alongside the two leads.
- Theatrical release is set for December 25 following the premiere and a social-media embargo lift that sparked a wave of early impressions.
