Several months after the first trailer for Anaconda, the highly anticipated remake starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black returns with a second, hilarious promotional video just released by Sony Pictures.
In this new 'meta-cinematic' version of the 90s cult classic with Ice Cube and Jennifer Lopez, we follow the misadventures of best friends Griff and Doug, who have always dreamed of making a remake of their all-time favorite film, 'Anaconda': following a mid-life crisis, they make the crazy decision to put their normal lives on hold and try it once and for all, assembling a crew and venturing into the Amazon jungle to begin filming...
However, as they say, art imitates life, but life also imitates art, and soon the production of their film risks going awry when a real, gigantic, bloodthirsty anaconda begins to hunt them... making their film much more real than expected!
The original Anaconda also included Owen Wilson, Eric Stoltz, and Jon Voight in the cast and told the story of a television crew heading to the Amazon for a documentary about an indigenous tribe. It wasn't well-received upon its release (41% on Rotten Tomatoes and an audience score of 24%), but over the years, it has gained a reputation as a late 90s cult classic, also generating several direct-to-DVD sequels.
