Paul Rudd and Jack Black's 'Anaconda' Reboot: Hilarious Trailer, Plot and Release Date

The silliest horror movie of 1997 is back, with a twist. The new reboot of Anaconda, starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black, isn't as straightforward as you might think. While the original movie was accidentally funny, the new Anaconda reboot will be funny on purpose.

Here's why the twisty premise of the new Anaconda is hilarious, plus, when the movie hits theaters.

Anaconda reboot trailer and plot

On September 17, Sony Pictures released the first trailer for the Anaconda reboot, which, as it turns out, stars Black and Rudd as a couple of friends who are, in the story of the film, trying to get Anaconda rebooted. Black channels a bit of his King Kong remake energy here, as a group of hapless filmmakers goes deep in the jungle in an attempt to make a real-ish version of Anaconda. Obviously, hilarity and horror ensue.

• Jack Black
• Paul Rudd
