Fans react to Paul Rudd and Jack Black’s Anaconda reboot trailer
Fans reacted strongly to Sony Pictures’ trailer for Anaconda, starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black. The official post on X (formerly Twitter) reads, “I like big snakes and I cannot lie. Paul Rudd and Jack Black star in @Anaconda_Movie – exclusively in theatres Christmas. #AnacondaMovie.” The two-minute, thirty-second trailer has drawn over 240,000 views since its release on September 17, 2025.
Responses online varied widely. One viewer shared, “Seems good. I’ll watch.” Another commented, “So its Tropic thunder but with a giant snake.” Others compared the effects, with one post noting, “The practical snake was so much scarier than this cg slop.”
Several reactions criticized the comedic direction. One post read, “its not horror or terror it’s comedy my friends,” while another added, “It’s not scary.” A different viewer called it “one of the worst trailers I have ever seen.” Some supported the style, writing, “We need more comedy/horror. This looks so ridiculous but good, and if there was any way to reboot Anaconda, this was it.”
Other responses addressed the casting. A user stated, “Will not be spending a single cent on this. I have not forgotten what Jack Black said, something like ‘don’t miss next time.’ Shame on you all for giving him the role.” Another added jokingly, “Best Movie. Best actor Best other actor. Best Actress. Soundtrack of the Year. And Steve Zahn. I’m calling it right now.”
Paul Rudd plays Griff and Jack Black plays Doug, two aspiring filmmakers who attempt to reboot Anaconda themselves. Directed by Tom Gormican and co-written with Kevin Etten, the film also stars Thandie Newton, Steve Zahn, Selton Mello, and Daniela Melchior.
Anaconda will open exclusively in theatres on December 25, 2025.
