Anaconda (2025) is an American action-comedy horror adventure film directed by Tom Gormican and co-written by Gormican and Kevin Etten. It serves as a meta-reboot and nod to the 1997 cult classic of the same name but with a playful, self-aware twist. The movie stars Paul Rudd, Jack Black, Steve Zahn, Thandiwe Newton, Daniela Melchior, and Selton Mello, and was released in theaters on December 25, 2025 by Columbia Pictures. Rather than simply retelling the old story, the film follows a group of lifelong friends who venture deep into the Amazon rainforest to make their own remake of the original Anaconda movie, only to discover that a real giant and deadly snake is waiting for them. With a blend of adventure, humor, and creature-feature thrills, Anaconda mixes comedy with perilous jungle encounters, reflecting both homage and parody of the iconic franchise.
Plot Summary:
In Anaconda (2025), childhood best friends Doug McCallister and Ronald “Griff” Griffen Jr. decide to fulfill their long-held dream of remaking their favorite movie, the 1997 Anaconda, during a mid-life crisis. Joined by their mutual friends—Kenny Trent, Claire Simons, and others—the group heads into the Amazon rainforest to shoot what they expect will be a nostalgic passion project. What begins as a light-hearted, low-budget filmmaking adventure quickly devolves into a fight for survival when they encounter an actual gigantic anaconda that begins stalking and attacking them. Stranded in the jungle with real danger looming, the friends must confront the deadly creature, unforeseen threats, and their own personal conflicts as they try to stay alive and escape the unforgiving wilderness. Along the way, the comedy of their amateur production clashes with genuine peril, leading to chaotic, humorous, and sometimes harrowing moments as they struggle against both the snake and the elements
