Paul Rudd and Jack Black might be heading to the jungle. Deadline is hearing that while no deal is done, the two are in early talks to star in new take on Anaconda at Sony Pictures. The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent writers Tom Gormican and Kevin Etten penned the script, with Gormican planning to direct. Brad Fuller and Andrew Form are producing through Fully Formed banner.

...

Sources say this latest version is not a remake but a new take with the same snake front and center, with a story that leans more toward comedy.

Whooo no new ideas

True, though in the perspective of B-movie schlock, it should hardly matter. How the first film ever got ahold of Jon Voight, Jennifer Lopez, Eric Stotz (ok, that one I believe), pre-fame Owen Wilson, Danny Trejo, Jonathan Hyde (from The Mummy), and 1st era MTV VJ Kari Wuhrer is anyone's wonder. It's terrible fun to watch. Preferably in Rifftrax format.

John Voight playing Paraguayan Paul Serone, with some sort of delightful accent and everything!

“Snake that big. Worth a lot of money. Maybe, a million dollars, GAHHRRY”

Everything is better in rifftrax format.

JB should take some time off, maybe let us miss you a little

So that we reach the point where we see someone in the role of Annoying Sidekick and think "Jack Black would have done this better, I hope he returns to acting soon."

Pitch your movie here if it's not hard.

A dragon made of mushrooms flys around kingdoms breathing hallucinogenic spores over the nobles, and now the peasants have to conduct negotiations with the neighboring kingdom. It's a comedy.

Let's make it happen! Here's 100 million This user has shown their appreciation for a joke.

Anaconda except it's giant guinea pigs. In fact, do a whole universe of larger versions of animals. Giant red pandas terrorizing rural China? You would watch it.

Anaconda except it’s giant guinea pigs.

Steady on! We don't want anyone to be startled.

So JB is going to star as the snake, right? Giving KG the squeeze was just him working on his method.

[-] Visstix@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Who the fuck is in charge of sony pictures? Did they lose a bet?

[-] charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Good way to circle their careers down the drain

[-] Twinkletoes@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

My anaconda don’t want none unless it’s got Paul Rudd, hun. 🐍

[-] yessikg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Are the bajillion other Anaconda movies going to stay canon or are they going to go the boring route?

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

I don't think anyone involved cares enough to figure that out.
