Jack Black and Paul Rudd to Star in Comedy Reboot of 'Anaconda' for Christmas 2025

Sony's reimagining of the 1997 cult classic will feature a comedic twist and is set to hit theaters on December 25, 2025.

The new 'Anaconda' is directed by Tom Gormican, known for 'The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent,' with a script co-written by Gormican and Kevin Etten.
Paul Rudd and Jack Black lead the cast in this comedic reimagining, joined by Daniela Melchior in a story about friends facing midlife crises in the rainforest.
The original 1997 'Anaconda' featured a documentary crew battling a giant snake and became a cult classic despite mixed critical reception.
Sony announced the reboot with a humorous promotional video where Black and Rudd promised a 'big f---in' snake' and a mix of scares and laughs.
The film is set for release on December 25, 2025, positioning itself as a major holiday release alongside other high-profile films.
