ANACONDA 6: Reboot - Teaser Trailer (2024) by Columbia Pictures in 2K

Evan Daugherty will write the script, but no other names have been announced at this time. While Anaconda wasn’t much of a hit with critics at the time of its release, it proved to be a surprise success at the box office. It followed a team of documentary filmmakers from National Geographic (J-Lo, Ice Cube, and Owen Wilson among them) as they battled both the killer snake and the hunter trying to capture it.

It has qualifies as a cult classic, thanks to its creative use of CGI, likable characters and an over the top performance from Jon Voight. And it’s spawned some pretty remarkable sequels, including Anacondas: Trail of Blood and the crossover film Lake Placid vs. Anaconda.

As much as we’d love to see where Columbia Pictures would take the story from there, going back to square one is realistically their best bet. And it looks like the studio may take some inspiration from other recent monster hits. According to the studio, we can expect the new Anaconda to be less Trail of Blood and more like The Meg, the 2018 thriller about a prehistoric shark. Whether that means we can expect the film’s villainous killer snake to be even bigger and potentially part-dinosaur remains to be seen. Most likely we will see a higher quality film and budget.
