Sony has just released the first trailer for the new comedy Anaconda, and if you thought screaming snakes were only scary back in 1997, get ready to rethink fear—with a healthy dose of laughs. This time, the film isn’t a remake of the cult horror; it’s a comedic story about growing up, nostalgia, and unexpected adventures.
The protagonists are a group of friends going through a midlife crisis. Inspired by their favorite movie from youth, they decide to remake Anaconda. What could possibly go wrong? Everything: Black plays a wedding videographer, Rudd a background actor, and the jungle is full of real danger. What started as a joke and a nostalgic project quickly turns into a chaotic and deadly funny adventure.
Director and co-writer Tom Gormican, known for The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, once again proves he knows how to blend humor with tension. The film also stars Thandiwe Newton (Westworld) and Steve Zahn (Strong Woman), adding star power to the already dynamic Black-Rudd duo.
The first trailer shows that Anaconda 2025 promises to be more than just a horror parody—it’s a true comedic expedition into the jungle, where the heroes confront their fears, their adulthood, and, of course, giant snakes.
The film premieres on December 25, 2025, making it the perfect way to spend the holiday season with friends, popcorn, and laughs until you cry. For those who grew up with the original Anaconda, it’s a chance to see the classic from a fresh perspective and remember that even in the jungle, there’s always a reason to smile.
If you’re looking for a movie where tension and humor go hand in hand, Anaconda promises to be this season’s hit. Jack Black, Paul Rudd, and a pair of giant snakes are ready to take over your holiday screens.
