Overview

• Sony Pictures released the first official trailer on September 17, confirming a horror‑comedy tone and a film‑within‑a‑film premise.
• Jack Black plays Doug and Paul Rudd plays Griff, lifelong friends who try to remake their favorite 90s movie until a real giant anaconda disrupts their DIY shoot after their trained snake dies.
• Tom Gormican directs and co-wrote the screenplay with Kevin Etten, positioning the project as a self-aware reinterpretation rather than a straight remake.
• The cast features Thandiwe Newton, Steve Zahn, Daniela Melchior and Selton Mello, with additional credited roles for Ione Skye and Ben Lawson.
• U.S. cinemas will open the film on December 25, 2025, as original director Luis Llosa describes the new take as a parody and says he found the trailer amusing.
