‘Anaconda’ Re-Imagining in the Works with Jack Black and Paul Rudd in Early Talks to Star


Jack Black and Paul Rudd are in early talks to star in Columbia Pictures' re-imagining of 'Anaconda' from writer-director Tom Gormican.

Gormican’s film takes its own meta turn: reportedly focused on a group of friends who are facing mid-life crises and set off to remake their favorite movie from their youth. It’s not confirmed who Black and Rudd will play, but two of the lead characters are described as a director moonlighting as a wedding videographer and an actor whose career peak was a stint on a cop show. Earlier this week, Variety exclusively reported that Form (who produced all three films in the “A Quiet Place” franchise) inked a first-look deal with Sony division Screen Gems.
