The 1997 monster movie Anaconda was about a documentary film crew in the Amazon looking for a legendary giant snake, which finds them instead. It was critically panned, but financially successful and spawned five sequels. The sixth movie in the series is somewhat of a remake, a comedy starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black. Also called Anaconda, the new movie sees Rudd and Black on a quest to remake the 1997 film, which was their childhood favorite, on location. They just can't see how history tends to repeat itself.
I had no idea there were so many movies in the series already, but it's a bit of genius to keep the implausible monster while highlighting the cheesy plot points by making them into intentional comedy. The judicious use of "Baby Got Back" as a threatening background motif in the trailer is too clever by half. Anaconda opens nationwide on Christmas Day. -via Laughing Squid
