Back in the 90s, there was a horror movie titled Anaconda. It stars Jennifer Lopez. It was her biggest break before Selena. And it kinda made her into a star. It launched her into a mainstream actress. And now there is a remake with Jack Black and Paul Rudd. And it's a comedy. It's confusing because it's supposed to be a remake of the Jennifer Lopez movie. But... It's a comedy. Not a serious, natural horror movie just like the original.

Original



Remake



The remake will also be Meta, A movie within a movie

I watched half the trailer, it seems half of the movie might be comedy but might get a little serious later on.

[Netherrealmer]

I never been a serious Jack Black movie

[kat82]

May be somewhere as the movie continues it turns to be a real one other than comedy. Just watched but saw a Bite

[eldavis]

I never been a serious Jack Black movie

Lol his seriousness doesn't look serious. Anyways let's see how it goes.

Sure, the 90s Anaconda was a horror film that gave Jennifer Lopez a huge chance to shine. Now seeing the new version as a comedy is surprising, but it also shows modern creativity. Turning it into a “meta”—a film within a film—is an interesting way to present the story from a different perspective. While not everyone will like the change, it’s an opportunity to enjoy the art in a new way.

True, it shows modern creativity no doubt, but i hope they don't mess it up like they do most remakes.

It's true, turning Anaconda into a comedy is a surprising but also fascinating thing. Modern design tries new perspectives, and "meta" adds a unique flavor. While remakes can be flawed, given a good story and solid acting, we can enjoy the art in a new way.

Don't judge a movie by its title, wait until you see it. The news that Anaconda will be returning as a comedy has surprised many. Many were used to the original version filled with fear and excitement of giant crocodiles.

But a change of style could attract a new audience. Maybe they will use humor to portray dangerous situations in a light-hearted way. If your family is interested, it's not a bad idea to try watching it together.

I bet certain comical works can instill fear. Watching this space keenly.

There are indeed some comedies that are funny but also have scary parts. A good example is *Kichekesho cha Usiku* from Machinoo Comedy on TikTok. It has a mix of comedy and scary stories like ghosts or graveyards but is still entertaining.

This type of comedy brings a unique thrill to viewers who like comedies with a little bit of a scary twist. You laugh but also get a little scared. It's a kind of entertainment for a quiet night or during a break.

I remember watching the original. It was thrill that caught our attention throughout. Well, it's interesting to know that the new one is a comedy. It's a bit hard to imagine too. I have not seen the trailer yet. Sometimes trailers are a bit misleading. Maybe there is comedy in between and the movie actually is a serious one. Would be interesting to watch.

[germainebull]

@arunima It's also hard for me to think of Anaconda as a comedy. Those snakes were so brutal in the old one. Now if they're going back to a funny style maybe it's a way to bring something new to the current generation.

They may have mixed a little humor into the horror to attract more viewers. Trailers don't always show everything, sometimes they lead. Maybe there are funny parts but the main message is still scary. We don't know until we see it.

It will be interesting to see how they changed the perspective of this film. Many people remember it with fear and excitement. If they managed to bring humor without losing the original spirit then it's a high level of creativity. Let's see.

Anacondas are vicious. Bet they behave in this comedy movie.

[germainebull]

Anacondas are not a game bro, they are the ones that silently stalk you and then choke you until your breath runs out. They are vicious and merciless, but not every animal is evil. If you respect them, they will respect you. Better a drop of caution than an ocean of fake courage. Don't play with the jungle without a mind. Play the survival game with respect and four eyes.
