Tom Gormican must one “Anaconda” theatrical remake set up for Sony subsidiary Columbia Pictures. The director was recently excited about the Nicolas Cage plays Nicolas Cage movie “Massive Talent”. Shooting is slated for later this year, although it’s not known if they’ll actually repeat the story from the first episode or just – which we think is more likely – create another horror movie starring one or more dangerous giants. anacondas and the brand used.
The idea of doing a remake has been haunting Hollywood for a while — since the success of “Meg” starring Jason Statham, to be exact. At the time, the studio was said to be planning a big-budget reinterpretation. With Gormican at the helm and a planned start of shooting in 2023, the project is finally becoming more concrete.
This is “Anaconda”
Anaconda was released in theaters in 1997. Jennifer Lopez played a director who wants to make a documentary about an indigenous tribe in the Brazilian jungle and meets with her crew (including Ice Cube, Owen Wilson) first a mysterious hunter (Jon Voight) and then a huge snake.
With some distance from the original, several sequels have been made over the years, which, however, are not directly related to the first film and do not bring back any characters, only set in the same world and share the main theme of “giant snake”. 2004’s “Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid” was made before theatrical release, while the other sequels “Anaconda 3: Offspring” (2008) and “Anaconda 4: Trail Of Blood” (2009) were made in quick succession. are cheap TV productions. In 2015 followed a crossover with the giant crocodile series “Lake Placid” – of course titled “Lake Placid vs. Anaconda”.
The new “Anaconda” could hit theaters in 2024 if the goal of filming this year is met. Nothing is known about a possible cast. That Tom Gormican could bring his “Massive Talent” star Nicolas Cage back on board, who already has some experience hunting down a huge deadly beast, may just be wishful thinking.
