Jack Black, Paul Rudd Circling Reimagining of Horror Movie ‘Anaconda’


Tom Gormican, who directed the Nicolas Cage meta movie 'The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent,' is writing and will direct the feature for Columbia Pictures.

The original movie starred Jennifer Lopez, Owen Wilson, Ice Cube and Jon Voight, and followed a National Geographic film crew who is hunting for the world’s largest and deadliest snake, only to find the tables turned. Anaconda was followed by a series of films, including installments in 2004, another theatrical moneymaker, before descending into schlock fare with two movies that aired on the Sci-Fi Channel in 2008 (that one starred David Hasselhoff) and 2009. On top of writing and directing Massive Talent, whose script landed on the Black List, Gormican was a writer on the recent Beverly Hills Cop movie, Axel F. He is repped by CAA and 3 Arts Entertainment.
